HI, I'M FREDY J YANES
GRAPHIC
DESIGNER
Intentional and strategic by nature, I am an Interactive Graphic Designer who blends the craftsmanship of high-pressure culinary leadership with UI/UX design, web design, and visual communication to create refined menus, promotions, branding, and websites for the hospitality industry, work that's as functional as it is tasteful.
About
me.
I built my career in professional kitchens — working my way from entry-level roles to Chef de Cuisine across high-volume and fine dining environments. Precision, consistency, and execution under pressure weren't soft skills. They were survival.
The pivot to design was intentional, not accidental. After years in leadership I wanted a creative challenge that matched my standards. Graphic & Interactive Design at Valencia College gave me that — and it turns out a kitchen and a design system aren't that different. Both run on prep, structure, refinement, and delivery.
I approach design the same way I approached the kitchen: with discipline, clarity, and a focus on delivering work that performs.
What I Work With
What I Bring
Selected Work
A range of work across branding, illustration, packaging, and UI — built while learning to think like a designer.
Featured Case Study
One project fully documented from problem to solution.
Discount Beds Belfast
E-commerce Redesign
A local bed shop with a dated website that was hard to use on phones and gave shoppers little reason to trust it.
I first redesigned it as a ten-week class project at Valencia College, from research and Figma mockups to a coded prototype. In 2026 I rebuilt it as a complete nine-page responsive site, with a new shop menu, fuller product pages, and delivery, returns and FAQ pages.

I'm actively looking for junior design roles and internships in Orlando and beyond — particularly in agencies, hospitality brands, lifestyle brands, or digital product teams where strong process matters as much as the final deliverable.
I respond fast and I come prepared.
