Pitch to win | New Business Design specialist

Hi! I’m Ric @ SantosStudios. I’m all about making the #designthinking process more inclusive and providing a holistic -and honest- approach to help brands, organisations and agencies to have more impact in a more and more entangled world. 

Art Direction | Digital Design

Presentation Design | Visualisations

I’m an experienced hands-on all-round art director and senior graphic designer who had worked for both, media and creative agencies. For the past ten years I have had the privilege to lead creative teams working with exciting brands. I deliver a mix of brand design ID, pitch design, presentations, marketing collaterals and ideas working across a range of touchpoints and channels from social media campaigns, advertising to experiential. 

  • Detail oriented, to me it’s crucial to get my ideas out in the best way possible. I love brain-storming and surround myself by creative minds. I’m constantly in the search for inspiration, everywhere.  I’m passionate about Bauhaus, lego, StarWars and photography while mastering the ancient art of changing nappies with one hand.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Or maybe you need a creative hand to help you win that pitch you’ve been working on. I listen to your brief. Then, I research about it and come up with ideas and a strategy for your brand, product or pitch theatre. I’ll take you step-by-step through the design thinking process: Discover / Define / Develop / Deliver and I’ll work as part of your team.

  • As the founder of SantoStudios, I have a quirky combination of skill sets, let me explain:

    1. I do my best to understand the pain points and challenges your brand is going through.

    2. I have experience working with brands, but I have also spent lots of time working with creative teams, creating campaigns, partnerships, analysing and visually translating market insights.

    3. I love to explore new ways of doing things and pitching new ideas to clients and prospects.

    4. No bull-s*it. Just excellent creative work and always getting things done.
