Gabriel Saenz

visual artist / graphic designer
Vancouver, BC



I was born in Nicaragua, grew up in El Salvador, and now live in Canada, where I graduated from Emily Carr University with a BFA in Visual Arts. I’ve been freelancing as a graphic designer since 2015, working on projects in esports, film, sports, events, and music. With my background in visual arts and design, I like to mix creativity with practical problem-solving and enjoy adapting to different styles and audiences.
