Ricardo T.
Senior Brand & Content Designer | Identity, Graphics & Video
I design brands and produce the content that makes them work fast, on-brand, and built to convert. I'm Ricardo, a senior creative with 12+ years across brand identity, graphic design, and content production. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), and I specialize in brands with a story to tell. For three years, I ran the Spanish-language creative department at a Los Angeles marketing agency, solo, producing ad creatives, organic content, scripts, graphics, logos, and directing small production teams. My work held CPAs of $15–$17 on lean budgets and helped close 200+ contracts across multiple clients. I know what it takes to produce a high volume of graphics without letting quality or brand consistency slip. Alongside client work, I build and run my own creative ecosystem, a full portfolio of brands spanning board and video games, music, horror series, fantasy series, and publishing, where I design the complete identity systems end to end, alongside the edits and more. So when I take on your brand, I'm not learning on your dime. I do this every day. What I bring to a team: • Brand identity & design systems (logos, visual identity, guidelines) • Fast, on-brand graphics production for social and print • Short-form content and video editing for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts that stops the scroll • Custom illustration and original art when a project calls for it • The ability to "get" a brand's look and match it immediately My stack: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, plus a deep AI toolkit (Midjourney, Runway, Kling, ElevenLabs, and others) for b-roll, UGC, and rapid asset generation when a project calls for it. I work Central Time, I'm reliable with deadlines, and I'm comfortable owning a project solo or embedding in an existing team. I'm looking for long-term and ongoing roles where I can be the creative you don't have to double-check. Tell me what you're dreaming, and I'll create it.
