I design & illustrate beautiful & effective websites.
Chances are, you’ve come here searching for help standing out.
Achieving a sense of visual dominance over your competitors is often crucial for maintaining the health of your brand; to speak to your target audience, you must communicate with them through creative design. In many industries, the difference between the big players and the wannabes boils down to the visuals and the message. I believe the visuals are the message.

As an established San Diego creative web design company, I have been designing websites, illustrating, and producing a variety of visual content for over decade. To view the work I’m most proud of, please take a look at my creative web design portfolio.
The Wiki Game iPhone App
To coincide with the recent redesign I completed for thewikigame.com, I transfered the design style from the web game to the iPhone App. My good friend & owner of The Wiki Game, Alex Clemesha, developed the app and we are currently working on an update.

Roadify
Chapolito completed a full redesign for Roadify, creating unique illustrations and a whole new look and feel for the company. Additionally, with this redesign the functionality of the site was expanded and we created intuitive user interfaces to allow people to utilize these new tools with ease.
About Roadify: With Roadify, people on the road GIVE and GET updates that help make traveling in Brooklyn easier. Roadify helps you find parking, hop on the bus, catch a train and more, by giving you easy access to real-time information from other commuters and transit data sources (like the MTA, NY Dept. of Transportation, Google Transit, etc.). We think of Roadify as the first comprehensive “social transportation” company, combining social networking with a wealth of published transit information.
KANVAAS
Kanvaas.com, a fashion social network, approached me to completely design from the ground up their fashion centered social network. There was a lack of visual vision for the project but a plethora of enthusiasm. The art direction, user interface design and web design I provided was focused on creating a lightweight and didactic interface. Kanvaas is still currently in beta and I am constantly working with the owner and developers to improve it.
I Am on MTV
I Am on MTV was a social network platform for actors and talent who had appeared on MTV to connect with their fans. The user interface and web design I worked on was a redesign, reorganizing and essentially a re-envisioning of the site from a very outdated version.
Unfortunately, budget cuts forced the dismantling of the site not long after the launch. This huge site was the product of collaboration between Higly Evolved, Jay David and myself.
PsdTuts+
Psdtuts+, the most visited Photoshop tutorial site on the net contacted me to write an article about the web design process and best practices. The web interface tutorial, which covered a lot design patterns, Photoshop tips and general advice, was a big success and well received by the web design community.
Ardent Life
I was hired to provide logo design for the young and fresh Ardent Life. Ardent Life is a multimedia company from Los Angeles, specializing in photography, video and film.
KidZui
I was hired to redesign the kidzui website. This was part of a larger effort to bring the functionality of the flash based KidZui application and move that to a more accessible online web version.
“he’s proven to be consistently awesome and original with his work”
Wow, Jesse provided me with exactly the logo I wanted. He asked me questions and found out what I was looking for. When I changed my mind and asked for a couple of tweaks, he provided them right away. He gave me the best service I’ve had in a long time.
I was very happy with his work – not only did he design an awesome website, but he created a logo for me that sets me apart from the rest. He was fast, easy to work with, very fair and too talented (haha). I have personally recommended him to many friends and would honestly suggest anyone to work with him; whether your project be small or huge, Chapolito can deliver the goods.
