I am a designer

Who Am I?

Direct yet conceptual. Provocative and engaging. Design & illustration for brands, publications, and people.

 
This is, indeed, my face.

This is, indeed, my face.

I’m Silvestre—Sly for short—a product designer based in the Dallas area who came to design by way of military logistics, tech operations, and public safety. That mix shapes how I work: pragmatic in execution, creatively flexible in conception, and drawn to problems where the stakes are real.

I’m at my best shipping intuitive, scalable solutions to complex problems, building tight-knit teams that deliver consistently, and facilitating clarity when everyone else is stuck. The thread through all of it is a simple commitment: leave people better than I found them.

Before any of this I was a musician, and I still am—performing around DFW, occasionally behind a camera, and otherwise spending time with my wife, our five kids, Paisley the dog, and Rosie and Daisy the cats.
