[About]

[About me]
Hey! I’m Samuel Gembe, a Mexican designer, photographer, and editor based in Irvine, CA.
For over 10 years, I've helped brands create human-centered experiences with compelling design and narrative. My degree and experience in Audiovisual Media have taught me that great design lies at the nexus of technical precision and emotional resonance, whether I'm directing a shoot or simplifying complex interfaces. I love to keep learning and currently study FrontEnd Development (HTML, CSS, Javascript), finding new ways to improve my designs, and facilitating agile collaboration with developers.

Today, I channel that expertise into UX/UI design, aligning aesthetics with intuitive digital experiences. Because excellent design shouldn’t just look unique – it should feel universal.
