Hello there! My name is Erick Gil and I am an experienced Graphic Designer with a demonstrated history of working in the marketing and advertising industry. I am proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite and skilled in branding, website, and user interface design. In 2013, I graduated with a BFA focused in Graphic Design from Montclair State University. After graduating, I relocated to Maine where I started my career working in a small design agency called Pica. After almost 2 years, I relocated once again to Baltimore and have been working at social media marketing platform company, SocialToaster, for almost 3 years. Along with SocialToaster, I also created a small design and social media marketing agency along with my partner called Jacks and Javi. Please see my resume below for more a more detailed view of each job in my career thus far.
When I am not designing, I enjoy drawing, playing video games, watching sports, playing fantasy basketball, watching stand-up comedy, going to the gym, and going out to eat.
