I'm Jose, and I'm glad that you're here.

DESIGN & CREATIVITY are what move me.

I have gained nearly 10 years working professionally in creative and marketing roles, and absolutely enjoy each new project that comes my way!

Hi friend!

I'm a creative jack-of-all-trades with a passion for bringing people's

visions to life.

Since I was a kid, I've been drawn to all things creative—always exploring, making, and designing. Looking back, most of what I created was for someone else, which makes perfect sense. Helping others isn't just something I enjoy; it's part of who I am.

That passion for helping others is what led me to become a teacher, where I taught 4th grade Math and Science. Eventually, that same drive inspired me to launch my own company, BERTEAU & Co., and later take on creative leadership roles—serving as Creative Lead for ESGI, and Creative Director for The Kindergarten Smorgasboard and Elevate Your Classroom.​​

My creative toolkit includes Adobe Creative Cloud programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, InDesign, and Lightroom—along with Canva for quick, impactful design work. I'm also experienced in building and managing websites using platforms like WordPress and Wix. On the tech and marketing side, I work with tools like Mailchimp, Kajabi, and ConvertKit, and keep projects organized with Asana, Trello, and Slack. Whether it’s designing stunning visuals, launching digital campaigns, or creating a seamless online experience, I’ve got the skills to make it happen.

I bring a positive energy wherever I go and enjoy connecting with others!

Some of my favorite things include Mexican food, rom-coms, chai tea lattes, jogging, makeup, board games, and of course—anything and everything design-related. ;)
