Hello, my name is Jonathan Daniel Mendoza; most of my family calls me Danny. I was born in Lima, Peru, a country which is really beautiful and has a rich culture, food, landscapes, nature and customs, it has everything. As for me, I am a person of Christian principles and I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, better known as Mormons. From early childhood I liked drawing and painting, I won many competitions in my childhood, both at school and at church. In my teens, I studied a one-year course in Graphic Design at the Institute Norbert Wienner.
In 2001, to supplement my knowledge, I decided to take a short course of Adobe Flash that at that time was the version Macromedia Flash 5, at the Institute Telematic, in which, to my surprise, I got the 1st place. At the same time, I was practicing designing web pages and other designs and animations from my own PC, as freelancer, but never stopped further study and preparation. At that time here in Peru, Manga and Anime were very well received, and succeeded in captivity, I knew I had talent for drawing, so I focused on learning that interesting technical Japanese. Immersed in the world Japanese, I wanted to learn the language, so I studied a little more than 6 months in the Peruvian-Japanese Cultural Center of Lima.
I had to suspend those studies, since I start working for THHR, a family firm of Engineers and Architects. It was essential that I knew to handle AutoCAD, so I took the course at an AutoDesk official training centre called Macrotec Data. Working for that company I learned to make drawings of architecture, plumbing, electrical, foundation, AutoCAD 3D, location and distribution plans, I made drawings and did fieldwork for topography, so I acquired notion of these two professions, Engineering and Architecture, while provided the company with my expertise in design. I worked for 3 years in THHR simultaneously studying Graphic Design and Advertising but this time as a 3-year career at the Matrix Institute.
After I finished my career in 2005, I began working for SmartClick, a company that had recently started and along with it I start to grow professionally, there I made demanding work for large companies like Ebel, Roche, Nextel, Motorola, and many more, leaving them very satisfied with my work. It was at this stage in my life where I caught a great potential in Web design and Flash animation, being practically the only one who carried out these major projects for the company. While staying in SmartClick, in the year 2007, I studied my most recent career and new profession, Interior Design, in the Matrix Institute getting high grades and recognition of students and teachers, for the projects carried out.
At present, with all this knowledge, talents and gifts, I decided to make my own way to something new, to have my own business, not only provide my services as a designer but also as an artist, I do now much more than websites or flash animations, because thanks everything that I undertook in life I developed a very broad field where I can stand out and now I can say that I really consider myself as a great professional, in a very humble manner, because I am still learning.
You can take a look at my portfolio, I hope you can find there what you need and fortunately, that you may like what I can do. Enjoy it.

I'm quite curious and I like to be self-taught, so I learned to handle several programs, such as those for video editing, sound and music.
-
I love singing, people who know me and I have heard say that I do pretty well, so I decided to join the choir of the Church, comprising an average of 40 people. I also have an excellent ear for music.
-
My parents communicate themselves quite well in English and French, of whom I inherited the gift of being able to speak, pronounce and grasp the correct vocalization of different languages, for now I have learned English and a little Japanese.
-
I also like writing and I think I express myself very well, I have been able to make other people feel what I really wanted to express about my feelings through a note, letters or poems and I love to translate and interpret songs from English into Spanish without changing the meaning and rhyme.
I am always discovering many new things that are in me. Thanks a lot.
