Hi, I'm Luis, and welcome to Pangilinan.net — a personal web site featuring a few of my illustrations, print work, and web designs (est. 1997, and design-neglected since 2006, lol).
I'm an art director, a visual designer, and an illustrator who relocated to Las Vegas to be with the love of my life and pursue a local career in graphic-web design. I specialize in creating visually strong, easily accessible designs that are attractive, clean, and thoughtfully laid out. To get the message across the internet, I rely on time-proven design principles while using current web standards to build high-quality sites customized right down to each icon and pixel.
While most of the work I do these days is for the web, my roots are still firmly grounded in print graphic design. Having accumulated years of experience in advertising agencies and prepress art departments — in both lead and production capacities — I employ those skills in developing full company and product branding from concept to finish: logo design, annuals and brochures, print ads and flyers, magazine and book covers, business cards, letterheads, CD packaging, t-shirt art, and a wide range of other work for print or silkscreen. Like my web design, my print work aims to be clean, crisp, and visually appealing.
What else? When I'm not in front of my Mac or sketchbook (really, I do leave them sometimes), I'm a volunteer taste tester for my wife's leche flan business, Let's Flan It! I also find relaxation and creative inspiration by putting on the headset and immersing myself in beating the life out of my drumkit to Alternative, R&B, Jazz, and OPM. Lastly, I'm an avid illustrator, a pin collector, a sneakerhead, a movie prop collector, an Olight flashlight enthusiast, and a long-time anime fan — a hobby that borders on cult-level and is best experienced rather than explained. I also try to stay present for my godchild's milestones along the way.
