About / Brandon Magdaleno
A foundation in design.
A practice shaped by possibility.
Multidisciplinary designer with experience creating brand identities, developing visual systems, and translating complex information into clear, considered communication. My practice spans typography, layout, art direction, presentations, marketing materials, and digital experiences.
I extend that foundation through AI-assisted prototyping, turning workflow challenges into useful digital tools. I shape the visual direction and interactions, use AI to implement code, and test and refine the experience for clarity, usability, and visual quality.

My practice is grounded in brand identity, typography, composition, and visual storytelling. I use that foundation to turn complex information into clear, considered experiences, across visual communication and digital tools.
Explore my capabilitiesI create identities from scratch and develop visual systems within existing brands. Typography, composition, and consistency guide how I bring a brand to life across presentations, marketing materials, and digital experiences.
View my design backgroundI’m developing prototypes that make information easier to explore and reduce manual coordination: a searchable staffing overview, interactive quarterly market reports, and a project intake workflow that creates records and notifies the team. These projects are currently prototypes.
Explore current projectsI define the visual direction, layouts, and interactions, then use AI to generate the implementation code. I test the results and guide refinements for clarity, usability, and visual quality. My contribution is the design direction and judgment that shape the experience.
