A master of organization, a champion of details, and a relentless driver of results with impeccable design aesthetic.

Known for my adaptability, versatility, and dynamic presentation style, I have an unwavering commitment to consistently delivering exceptional graphic designs aligned with company style guides and client branding, ensuring a lasting impact.

Typically, this is where a Creative Director’s skill set ends; however, that’s just where my work begins. Beyond my design prowess and communication finesse, I’ve taken charge of overseeing and optimizing web standards, operations, and content delivery. 

My leadership abilities are not confined to a creative bubble. I bring robust project management skills and a knack for fostering strong customer relationships to the table. Through close collaboration with clients, I discern, define, and meticulously execute project scopes while offering innovative solutions with a keen ear and a facilitating touch.

Outside the professional realm, I’m an amateur photographer with a deep passion for interior design and home renovation projects. My wanderlust knows no bounds, as I’ve explored over 25 countries and counting, immersing myself in diverse cultures and unfamiliar environments—forever seeking new horizons and memorable experiences.

I was a student of Fabian’s at Western Continuing Studies, and I learned so much. I came into his Design for Public Relations class with no knowledge, and Fabian was extremely patient in teaching the course, not only the application of design techniques through Adobe Creative Cloud programs, but also the elements behind what makes a good design.

His expertise in graphic design and fun personality make him an excellent instructor.

Fabian has the wonderful quality of turning shortcomings into learning moments – these happened a few times during my writing work and his patient guidance and suggestions have made me a much better communicator.

He is also generous with his advice and suggestions when it comes to skill development and career planning. He is respectful of your time and skillset – he made sure, for example, to keep me abreast of the larger communications strategy and how my work was important and what role it was accomplishing, and what kind of time commitments he was looking for and what would work for me.

Overall, he is a wonderful colleague to work with, and a great mentor to have!
