Genaro Design

Last night, I had the opportunity to share my design colleagues' responses and suggestions for student design portfolios. As always, it is a joy to spend time with my Baylor Design Bears, teaching what I love and loving what I teach. Thank you, .baylor for organizing this event.

My packaging class is exploring dielines and preparing for their first roughs critique. It is beginning to feel like the end of the semester.

I will be sharing examples, tips, and insights from creative directors. You will leave with a solid foundation to continue building your junior portfolio. Yes, I will also bring chocolate almonds!

A great excuse to hang out and build stronger bonds while building your junior portfolio.

I look forward to seeing everyone on March 24. Thank you for the invitation

I am honored to have my work published alongside many talented designers. Thank you, , for continuing to be inspirational! Teaching what I love and loving what I teach. another one for the books. 🙌
