About
My name is Francisco Govea. My humble actions are stronger than my words. I am a designer loyal to clients, projects, and audiences. I strive to ruthlessly prioritize while being very supportive of my teams. I have an intuitive mindset and accept challenges at uncomfortable levels. I love making anything I touch look amazing, and like to do my homework before I play because I love the rewarding feeling of designing for a purpose.
My creative journey started with drawing, then art school, then graphic design, then UX, then being an in-house designer, and finally, creating icons, illustrations, and beautiful imagery. Currently I am seeking my next opportunity.
I graduated from SJSU's BFA Graphic Design program and first big experience was at Yahoo! where I immersed myself in user centered mobile experiences. Then went towards marketing as a contractor at New Relic to partner with a creative director and senior designer who were delivering a new brand refresh and campaign. Following that, I made an impact on the Barracuda Networks in-house design studio where I became very versatile, and mainly supporting marketing. Lastly was at ServiceNow where my focus was icons, illustrations, and beautiful imagery.
Outside of work you’ll catch me hanging out with family, enjoying nature, or working out. I also love inspiring my two young daughters since nurturing creative minds is awesome.
