Branding, Illustration, & Visual Design.
I was born and raised around the San Francisco Bay Area, and my passion lies deeply in all things design, mainly focusing on visual design. My expertise is centered around brand identity and illustration. I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Multimedia from California State University, East Bay. I am the Graphic Design Specialist within the Peralta Community College District, located in Oakland, CA. I work for the Peralta Colleges, overseeing four unique community colleges, each with its specialties and needs. Alongside my role at the Peralta Colleges, I operate as a freelancer, collaborating with clients ranging from local initiatives, nonprofits, and small businesses to sports teams and tech start-ups.
Marcus is exceptionally professional, can't wait to hire him again for future projects!

During my time as a UX Apprentice at BRIDGEGOOD, I was fortunate enough to have had Marcus Creel as a Program Associate. Marcus is a very experienced designer that I and other apprentices could always turn to for advice. Over the course of our apprenticeship, he inspired me with his seemingly endless knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, sophisticated designs, and the professional manner in managing the apprentices. Marcus kept the team on track for our projects, and also fostered a welcoming environment for us to thrive in with his supportive attitude and a great sense of humor. I have been lucky to work with Marcus, and I know that he’ll continue doing amazing work.
— Emily Luong, Marketing Strategist and Designer for Cushman & Wakefield @ Google.
Marcus shows signs of strong leadership, professionalism, experience and interpersonal skills. He creates stunning graphics and marketing materials for BRIDGEGOOD that still continue to surprise me. His ability to design anything from logos to print to animations makes him a strong and resourceful designer for any team.
Since he is a design consultant, he is able to provide useful but honest feedback, advice and he also makes anything a learning experience. I have learned a lot from Marcus and I hope to keep learning from him!
— Omar Sinada, UX/UI Designer at Essention Group
As a graduate, I have continued to contract Marcus for high profile projects and updates to marketing materials. His work has consistently been excellent and his passion for his craft and his community has made working with him a pleasure. Marcus has my highest recommendations.
