Miguel Aldana
Graphic Designer · Slow Fast Go Agency
Portland, OR
In My Own Words
My name is Miguel Aldana. I am a senior designer/art director and owner of the design studio Slow Fast Go
located in Portland Oregon. My 16 + years as a professional graphic designer has given me the opportunity
to work with a large variety of clients and develop a diverse portfolio. In addition to handling my own
direct clients, I often am called upon by other design and marketing agencies for my skills in art direction,
design and production. The focus of my business has always been brand development, but I am extremely
comfortable with any phase of a creative project. I function equally well either as an independent designer
or as a team member.
