I illustrate and design memorable visual experiences for brave clients, brands, and audiences around the world.
My work has been featured in a variety of publications, products, films, and animated series. I am grateful to have found friends along the way with whom to work and from whom to learn.
I've been told my illustrations are characterized by their richness, bold and nostalgic shapes, bright colors, raw textures, and cinematic lighting.
In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, cooking, traveling, riding kick scooters, and "playing hiding and seek" in bookstores with my little ones, and hanging out with my super creative wife, Anny.
Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, we now live in the Evergreen Pacific Northwest with our two joyful daughters.

“I’ve been a fan of Rommel’s illustrations from his book “Golly’s Folly” and knew that his transition from illustration to animation would be seamless. Rommel has a firm grasp on shape and structure and he can move from one medium to the next without losing the playfulness of his work.”

From the beginning, Rommel’s creative thinking took the project to another level and only made better by his incredible illustrative talents. He took a good title and concept and made it great.”
–Tom Temple, Design Project Manager at New Growth Press
