His marketable skills evolution started in 1992 working at a camera store, where he learned to use camera equipment, print, and work with studio lights. At the time, it was a fun part-time college job, and it was complementary with a career in art and design.<\/p>\n

Flash forward, and Gabe was attending UC Santa Barbara majoring in Studio Art with Digital Media emphasis in the mid-nineties. He interned at Islands Publishing working on travel related web graphics in 1996, when the web was in its infancy. He\u00a0joined ABC-CLIO publishing in 1998 where he worked on award-winning educational multimedia projects and databases, first as production artist, then designer and design lead.<\/p>\n

A common thread in his career has been the desire to share the inspiration and how-to of multimedia design. So in 2000, on a whim, as a junior designer with some, but not a ton of experience, he applied to teach design at Santa Barbara City College, one of the most progressive and renowned community colleges in the nation. He went on to teach there, developing curriculum and teaching User Interface Design when the term was still not commonplace. He taught there for a few years and lead young creative talent to produce work winning some national design awards. He went on to teach other hands-on multimedia design classes at UC Santa Barbra Extension programs as well.<\/p>\n

Since then his work’s been published worldwide, from television networks like FOX and ESPN, to national and international publications. He’s worked in\u00a0virtually every media, and consistently created work\u00a0that motivates and converts<\/em>. He’s collaborated\u00a0with small startup companies\u00a0and international enterprise companies alike. Evolving strategic brand campaigns and user experiences to the next level is his passion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
