Designer
Board of directors
Aside from my career, I believe in supporting design initiatives within the community. In relocating to the Gulf Coast, I actively became involved with the AIGA Organization as Communication Director for AIGA Mobile, 2017-2018.
My responsibilities consisted of ensuring our chapter message align with the mission and goals of the national AIGA organization. Engage, gather, and create content that is relevant to our creative community for our social media channels, AIGA Mobile website, and email communication. Along with organizing and participating in local events that foster design in our community.

Since relocating to Los Angeles and serving AIGA Mobile, I remain active but now as an Ambassador for AIGA Mobile on their advisory board. You can contact me at hnoriega@mobile.aiga.org for different ways to be involved with AIGA Mobile and help build a creative culture.
AIGA advances design as a professional craft, strategic advantage, and vital cultural force. As the largest community of design advocates, we bring together practitioners, enthusiasts, and patrons to amplify the voice of design and create the vision for a collective future. We define global standards, ethical practices, guide design education, enhance professional development, and make powerful tools and resources accessible to all.

My responsibilities consist of working on projects from concept to end, execute marketing briefs with tight deadlines and work on client-specific assignments. In my career, I have learned how to successfully build on user experience to align with initiatives of the company along with user-centered design to draw desirable appeal for projects while upholding brand identity. As an employee that has grown within the company, I have gained invaluable insight and experience on how to approach projects with the intent of executing the company’s strategic marketing plan.
