About

Michael Javier
Multidisciplinary Creative
San Francisco, CA

Intro

I am a San Francisco-based Creative Technologist with a multidisciplinary background in Brand Marketing Design, E-commerce Front-end Development, and Digital Strategy. My expertise bridges the gap between visual storytelling and technical execution, allowing me to craft seamless customer experiences across both physical and digital spaces, from large-format retail signage to high-converting website landing pages.

With 10 years of experience in E-commerce, UX/UI design, and development, I specialize in bringing marketing initiatives to life through strategic front-end implementation, and high quality email and social media campaigns. I have experience collaborating closely with third-party agencies, developers, and internal teams to ensure brand consistency and performance-driven results.

Beyond design, I have a strong foundation in project management, team coordination, and cross-functional communication, making me a valuable partner in delivering high-impact creative solutions.
