Based in BILLINGS, montana

contemporary creative graphic design

I am Oscar Jaimes.Born in Cd Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. I am a citizen of both Mexico and the United States.

2008-2013

I studied graphic design at the UACJ university (Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez) including a year as an exchange student in beautiful Seville, Spain, at the La Facultad de Bellas Artes. My time in Spain continues to have a profound impact on my work and my life. Ostia tio!

2012

In 2012, I set off to Santiago de Chile, for 6 months where I was lucky to be an assistant to the extremely talented and brilliant artist, Marcela Trujillo - a dynamic comic artist, author and painter. The different artistic mediums I observed working with Marcela offered a timeless perspective that enriches my vision.

2014

For three years, I was a designer for the editorial magazine at UTCJ (Universidad Tecnológica de Cd Juárez) before I moved to El Paso, TX. This scientific publication was a chance to explore new content and material, a welcome pivot from the artistic aesthetic I’d been focused on.

2017 - 2021

In Texas, I worked for two companies in the sports industry - Atomic Strength Nutrition, a fitness supplement company, where I reimagined an old logo, designed new products, collateral and marketing materials. Secondly, Supplement Xpress with six locations and a robust product line. Working for these brands introduced me to fitness and opened my eyes to what supplements can do for our bodies. I’ve become dedicated to working out and maintaining a healthy lifestyle which supports me in my work.

A part-time gig at Whole Foods Market during this time helped me lean into a newfound healthy way of living. The displays throughout Whole Foods gave me insight into how to apply design to tangible installations and an array of products.

2021 - 2024

I felt compelled to make a change and moved 1,188 miles North to the Big Sky state landing in Billings, Montana! This unexpected move brought unexpected new projects in an unfamiliar, and highly-regulated industry: Cannabis. I worked to build the brand identity for an up and coming dispensary called Purple Cow. Product development, packaging design, and content creation are pillars of this position which I currently contribute to.
