About Ricardo

Editorial, Brand & Layout Designer for corporate and tech teams.

I’m a senior designer with 20+ years’ experience helping businesses communicate clearly and effectively through brand, layout and print.


I’ve worked with global brands including BMW, Nissan and major financial institutions, delivering clear, structured communication across print and digital. A lot of what I do sits around editorial design, brand systems and structured layout work.


Clients typically come to me when things feel messy, unclear, or not quite landing as they should. I help bring structure, hierarchy and direction to the work so it not only looks better, but works better too.


Straightforward to work with, and comfortable owning a project from start to finish.
