Turns, Twists, and Turning Points

Hi, I’m Rogelio — a designer with a knack for support, structure, and storytelling.

For eight years, I worked at Trader Joe’s, where I learned how to lead with empathy and keep things running smoothly. While working full-time, I earned my design degree from Cal State Northridge. In 2018, I stepped away to run my family’s food truck when my dad fell ill — managing the business for a year before the pandemic.

Graduating into uncertainty, I stayed at Trader Joe’s to support my family and took on freelance branding work when I could. I was preparing to step into a managerial role when a new opportunity knocked: Netflix’s ACCESS program with Otis College. I jumped at the chance to sharpen my creative skills and pivot toward entertainment marketing.

Currently an embedded coordinator for Eclipse Advertising at Sony Pictures.

In my free time I'm most likely:
- at the movie theaters
- rockin’ your uncle’s Rocawear jeans
- at listening parties for early 2000s R&B
- patiently waiting for LACMA’s 17th
century paintings to be on display again
