Orlan Santillana

I am a passionate and dedicated Graphic and Web Designer with over 10 years of professional experience in the creative industry. My journey began with Photoshop, where I first explored the world of design through image editing, digital graphics, and creative layouts. Over time, I developed a deep understanding of visual communication and honed my ability to translate ideas into powerful designs that connect with people.

As the design world evolved, so did I. I expanded my skills beyond static graphics and embraced the growing field of web design, user interface, and user experience. Today, I primarily work with Figma, a tool I’ve mastered to create modern, responsive, and user-friendly designs. My expertise includes web layouts, interactive prototypes, and UI/UX design that blends aesthetics with functionality. Whether it’s building websites from scratch, enhancing digital branding, or designing engaging interfaces, I focus on delivering designs that not only look great but also work seamlessly for users.

Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with a wide range of clients and teams, from startups to established businesses. These experiences have taught me how to adapt my creativity to different industries and audiences while still maintaining a strong design identity. I believe that great design is not just about making things beautiful—it’s about solving problems, guiding users, and creating experiences that leave a lasting impression.

Outside of my professional life, I’m also proud to be what I like to call a “rockstar father” to three amazing kids. Balancing a busy creative career with family life has shaped me into a better designer and an even stronger person. My children inspire me daily to think creatively, stay curious, and keep pushing my limits. I believe that being a parent has given me unique skills in patience, multitasking, and problem-solving—qualities that translate beautifully into my work as a designer.

Looking ahead, I am excited to continue exploring new trends and technologies in the design field. The world of digital design is constantly changing, and I thrive on learning new tools, improving my craft, and creating work that inspires and engages. With a decade of experience, a passion for design, and the drive to keep learning, I look forward to every opportunity that challenges me to grow and contribute creatively.
