íldablóm

I started my photography as a way to capture the memories I wanted to keep, sights from the bike rides I took. I learned illustrator initially to draw my pictures. Then work enabled me to use my illustrator experience to design brands and websites. Naturally that progressed to building websites too.

Enjoy my work!

Photography

Dutch Mountain, Utah

Since 2015, I have chased sunsets, taken 600 shots just for 1 perfect photo, and ruined multiple phones and a camera taking photos in the rain or under gushing waterfalls. I now shoot mainly stock photos for Unsplash and other sites, though I also shoot for events and other occasions.

See my newest photos on Unsplash, my older photos on Instagram, or some of my select favorites from events I’ve done on my photography page.

Graphic Design & Branding

In the winter of 2020, I set out to learn Illustrator. The start of my journey began with a project to illustrate every US National Park. Each park in alphabetical order, I tried a new technique or new art style or to build upon something I tried before. The only consistency in all of the designs is the faded grain that I layered over each final design to symbolize my lack of experience.

A couple years later and I look back on all these designs and how far I’ve come since. I’ve put my skills to use creating three brands and logos for multi-million dollar companies.

Website Design, Development, & SEO

I started web design as an evolution of my Illustrator experience. I was involved with web management since 2019, and in 2021 I started to get more involved by rebranding Cambria Solutions and their website. I designed the new website entirely by piecing together screenshots, shapes, and text on Illustrator and handing it over to our Development Team.

When I started building entirely new websites from scratch, it became evident that I needed a better way to design. And so I learned UI/UX and began designing on Adobe XD instead. Soon after I learned how to edit and develop WordPress sites and pages directly, primarily using the Divi Theme. I’ve now rebranded and created from scratch 6 websites.
