Hello There!

Welcome to my portfolio! Here is a collection of the projects I've contributed to and the personal artwork I've done.

I'm Roman Sailes, a student at Cal Poly Pomona pursuing a B.F.A. in Visual Communication Design. My work primarily focuses on graphic design, and I’m interested in gaining real-world experience across different areas of design. I approach projects with curiosity and a willingness to experiment, always looking for new ways to strengthen my skills.

I'm always open to connect with fellow creatives and collaborators who share a passion for delivering quality visuals and sharing their creativity with the world.

Graphic Design

Typography | Snowboard Designs

This was a group project where, after researching a design era, we had to create a snowboard based on that era. My group researched the grunge era, and decided to go with the theme of the parts that make a whole. I did eyes, while the other members did hands and mouths. We chose a RGB color scheme since each color works together to create all of the colors we see digitally.

CPP Game Development Club | Marketing Director

I collaborated with the Social Media Director to design visually engaging, professional graphics that promoted the club and attracted new members. Social media posts were made using the meeting's topic as inspiration for the visuals. I designed the merchandise for the 2025-26 school year to be distributed to club members. I primarily used the programs Adobe Illustrator and Figma.
