You can call me Dom.
As a graphic designer with over ten years of professional experience, Dominic Grijalva (He/Him) works in a wide range of media including marketing and advertising campaigns that call for eye-catching imagery, stunning digitally projected sets for theatre and live events, merchandise and fine art inspired by your favorite Broadway shows and films, and silly gifs that loop on your phone screen.
Dominic is proud to have been recognized by AIGA, Communication Arts, Giphy, the Adobe Design Achievement Awards, and 99u for his print design and digital artwork. His original projection visuals for Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, and other titles have been featured in multiple regional productions around the world including The Kennedy Center.
When not so busy chasing inspiration, Dom can be found in a theater catching a show, tending to his house plants, working out, or walking his Shiba Inu, Nala.
A California native, Dominic lives in New York City and works with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS as a full-time grpahic designer. He is currently available for freelance projects.
