Jell-O, I’m Daniel Reibold.
II’m a California kid, born and raised in the greater Sacramento area. I’m a formally trained artist with over 20 years work in the digital arts. I marched my way to where I am today. Find the North Star aka Polaris and just keep on walking. My personal strengths include - persistence, determination, and a little bit of artistic OCD, or as some call it, an obsessive attention to detail.In 2010, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused in Graphic Design w/ Photography Minor from San Jose State University.
Teaching children organization, task-management, and structure can do wonders and in high school it made me one of the best Boy Scout Quartermasters in town.High Profile Projects:
And then Senior Patrol Leader of one of the largest Troops in Northern California.
Try being in charge of over 100 junior high and high school kids. I guess I’m good at wrangling cats too.
My background in digital art started at a young age. My high school was one of the firsts to teach Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator as a full-time class, and I was an unofficial teachers assistant part of the time. We were all taught the difference between a vector and a bitmap. We feared when the teacher was on “zoom patrol”. Got to use those Bézier curve handles correctly. I hope you know your hot keys. And auto save can’t help you. It didn’t exist. Remember to save often. We don’t need the sky to fall.
I was senior designer at the student-run Viking Printing Press, which met the daily demands of Oakmont High School's senior faculty, teachers, and student body with design and printing services. My first paid graphic design work was when I was still in high school, hand-clicking tiny vectors for tiny laser engraved Italian Charm Bracelets. Your mom or sister probably had one in the early 2000s.
While taking a full class load in Community College and State College, I worked at two of the busiest malls in Northern California, doing visual merchandising, window displays, customer service and stock management. And of course, slinging denim and rad t-shirt. If your boss was in Silicon Valley and wanted to look cool, I probably helped sell them some True Religion, Rock & Republic, Mek Denim, AG, Paige, Kill City, Cheap Monday, G-Star Raw, Ksubi, Comune or Citizens of Humanity denim. We don’t sell jeans here. No slub cotton in our inventory. We got the good stuff. We sell DENIM!!!
I graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused in Graphic Design w/ Photography Minor from San Jose State University.
And now I am a Senior UI and Systems Designer with a history working in food service, fashion retail, and E-commerce for the food service industry, consumer electronics, and insurance industries.
Skilled in Web Design, Interaction Design, Systems Design, Modular Design, UX, and Concept Development.
Also at telling you something is crooked.
