Who I Am

Hello! I'm Edgar Vargas

Originally from dusty Eastern Washington, I moved to the Seattle area where I attended Lake Washington Technical College and pursued the Multimedia Design program. In addition to studying every aspect of video production to obtain the Audio/Video degree, I cultivated my knowledge in other areas of Multimedia, and ended up graduating with a degree in the Print Design program and the Web Design program as well.

While in Washington I worked for the City of Redmond at their youth center, the Old Fire House Teen Center, as the Computer Lab Coordinator. It was a rewarding position that allowed me to expand my web design skills, but I saw the need to be in an environment where my Audio/Video skills would be more in demand. So I relocated to San Jose, CA and I’ve been here ever since.

Currently I work for a local UPS Store where the owners and staff are really great people, and I consistently get opportunities to sharpen my design skills by creating business cards and large print banners.

I enjoy going to concerts of my favorite rock bands, and play a few instruments myself. I love going to the movies and spend some of my time doing screenwriting. I’m a creative at heart, but I still follow my favorite sports teams, like the San Jose Sharks.

What I Do

I Love to Edit Video!

Audio/Video production is where I shine, in both filing and editing. I have a fully advanced editing station, based on the Final Cut software editing suite. For Videography, I film in HD with my Sony PMW-EX3 video camera.

Beyond having the right tools, I have a passion and drive to make any video perfect. It’s not uncommon for me to be awake in the late hours of the night, scrutinizing every frame, every pixel, to make sure every aspect is beautiful and perfect. Whether its for marketing, business, an artistic piece or to capture a moment, every video has an audience that needs to be reached. I bring a unique vision to my quick and proficient style of editing.

Of course, when you start with great raw footage, it makes the editing process even more efficient. I bring highly technical and proficient skills to my Videography abilities. Make sure to view the portfolio section to see clips shot in HD; Then image your own video needs in the same beautiful quality with professional editing. Just don’t forget to contact me.

I Work in Print and Web Too!

When it comes to web and print, I focus clean and simple design work. Over time I have added beauty and flair to my designs expanding my skills from their utilitarian nature.

I can design for many print needs including brochures, fliers, and banners, as well as less conventional mediums such as t-shirts, hats, mugs. I use the Adobe Creative Suite software. My focus starts with function, but I use programs like Photoshop, and Illustrator to great effect. I use InDesign to compile complicated print projects.

In web design, I use Dreamweaver to create websites that are simple and function well. I then use Photoshop and Illustrator to create a unique and attention-grabbing appeal. I specialize informative sites which are perfect for artists, small business, and other small organizations. With my abilities I can easily connect your print and web design needs.
