HI, MY NAME IS JOEL RICHARD V. ESCORPISO—BUT PEOPLE CALL ME "JO-EL."

Originally from California, I continue my 12 years of being a creative design professional in Chicago, Illinois. 

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree
in Graphic Design from the Art Institute
of California, Los Angeles. Currently, I work as
a Senior Art Director for Conversant, Inc. (formerly known as ValueClick, Inc.), working under the Marketing Creative Services team. Conversant, Inc. is the leader in personalized digital marketing reaching audiences across multi-devices around the globe, and is a subset of Epsilon, under the corporate umbrella of Alliance Data Systems (ADS).

​

I have honed my print and digital design skills working with various companies like Specific Media, Myspace, Vindico, Xumo, SiteMeter, FremantleMedia, Frontiers Media and Melbert Design Group. In 2004,
I also launched my owned and operated social networking site "Filiztik,” which was geared
towards young Filipino Americans.

Consistency is a common thread throughout
my work. I design with simplicity and purpose—
if a design element doesn’t have a purpose,
it probably shouldn’t exist. I’m a perfectionist
who doesn’t cut corners, waste pixels or leave details unpolished. My goal is to produce designs that are as clean, interactive and beautiful
as they are effective.



I enjoy collaborating with others who are
as passionate about their work as I am—
people who know what they want but are
open to exploring new and innovative ways
to get to the final product.
