Based in Brooklyn, Ricardo is a designer, illustrator, and small business owner with over a decade of experience crafting brand experiences that feel intentional, expressive, and human. His work spans brand design systems, motion graphics, video, and environmental design, and he’s known for a hands-on approach that comfortably moves from big-picture thinking to fine-tuned execution—including 3D/CAD work and the occasional HTML or CSS moment.

When he’s not designing, Ricardo can often be found trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, getting lost in cozy life-sim video games, experiencing concerts and Broadway shows, or exploring the globe both near and far.
