JORGE DAVID IRIGOYEN BATRES
Graphic Designer
About Me
I come from Ciudad Juárez, México- what used to be the most dangerous city in the world. This same adversity is what made me use graphics to design my own future.
In high school, I voluntarily taught drawing classes on Saturdays to my classmates. I graduated with Honors from The University of Texas at El Paso, where I also had my first real graphic design job, working four years as an in-house designer for the campus. I moved to New York City after graduation, with nothing but two bags, a thousand dollars and a million dreams. I landed a job my first week in NYC. Although it wasn’t the best, it cleared my path to later secure a job as an in-house designer for Broadway, allowing me to collaborate with talented artists on diverse projects.
Sadly, the pandemic cut my dreams short, I wasn’t allowed to renew my work visa and I had to leave the US. However, what seemed to be a curse, ended up being a blessing because I became a digital nomad. This gave me the opportunity to literally do a lap around the world and live in incredible cities like London, Madrid and Seoul, all while creating fantastic ads for many different companies like the NFL and blockchain.com. I have now moved back to México with my fiancé and I’m eager to find new challenges.
