Franky Aguilar also known as FrankyNines, is an American multidisciplinary artist and mobile developer based in Los Angeles, CA. His creative works incorporate technical design, digital illustration, interaction development, hand-painted works of art, and more. He studied Web Development and Multimedia Design at the Art Institute of California - San Francisco and has been developing instantly-successful mobile applications since 2008.

He has worked with gaming giants such as Zynga as early as 2011, and began developing mobile applications earning millions of downloads. Aguilar founded YoShirt Inc. in 2016, a VC-backed venture infusing digital-to-physical clothing distribution, manufacturing, and consumer e-commerce into one single platform.

These viral hits sparked collaborations with clients including Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, Fox Digital Ent. Group, Grumpy Cat, and many others.

While Franky began painting trains and graffiti as a teenager, he now plays at the intersection of art and technology. He focuses on interactive design that encourages people to create their own art, design their own merchandise, and embrace their individual artistic style.

He began translating his skills to the emerging blockchain space in 2018 by working with Cryptokitties developer Dapperlabs. Aguilar extends his design expertise to the conceptual and technical art development, user interface design, and product design fields.

He continues his relationship with digital, technical, and fine arts to this day. Aguilar spends much of his time maintaining his art gallery and educating other artists.

Aguilar’s work has been featured in Forbes, Adobe, Standard Vision, PBS, and many others.
