Meet Rudy Gonzalez, a valued member of our award-winning marketing team. He gave us a sneak peek into his experience as a Graphic Designer and his life outside of Deco Lighting. Rudy specializes in delivering his design experience to Deco’s marketing collateral. Rudy’s upbeat personality and keen eye towards design have made him a key player on the Deco team the past few months.
DECO: What is a typical workday like for you?
Rudy: I approach my work with initiative, meaning I do not wait for direction; I try to deliver finished products that surpass the expectations of the client/employer. First thing I do is review any pending items to track their progress or follow up needed then look over new requests and prioritize them so I can keep the work flow organized.
DECO: What’s it like to be a part of the Marketing team?
Rudy: It’s very fun learning each other’s work ethic and personality, as well as further developing great communication skills and background knowledge in the lighting industry.
DECO: How has your career evolved at Deco Lighting?
Rudy: More assignments have been bestowed upon me as the time has passed. I love being able to help my bosses and colleagues out at Deco. Every project they give me makes me learn new things and ultimately makes me a stronger designer and professional.
DECO: What different projects have you worked on in the past?
Rudy: I work mostly on developing new logos, updating product specification sheets, social media layouts, touching up images for social media and Deco’s variety of catalogs.
DECO: What are some hobbies you hold outside of Deco and the lighting industry?
Rudy: I really enjoy designing things for my freelance business. My freelance firm, Elegant Graphic Designs, allows me to stay current with design principles. I also enjoy watching shows such as Dwayne Johnson’s Ballers on HBO.
DECO: What’s your favorite part of working at Deco Lighting?
Rudy: I enjoy working in an environment where I can be free to put out my creative designs. I also enjoy getting to know all of my colleagues and their backgrounds.
DECO: In the LED lighting industry, what do you see as one of the most exciting developments in the near future that will make a large impact?
Rudy: The more advanced lighting technologies get, the more it can help influence a person’s health and well-being. This is extremely fascinating to me, due to the way lighting can have such a big impact on the occupants of a space.
