About me

My name is Rico, and I am a character designer and illustrator with over ten years of experience using Photoshop, Wacom, Painter and freehand drawing. I live in Lisbon Portugal and love that the beach is 30 mins away.

I use a visual narrative to tell stories through characters and I am passionate about the conceptual stage of design, as much as I am about the finished product.

I am an accredited self-awareness coach and love that I can share ideas how to be more confident and creatives online and in life. I have 10 years of character design years of doing character design, editorial work, illustration, books, invitations, T-shirt and cartoons.

I am motivated by keeping up with design trends and I am a confessed film geek.

Looking forward to working with you where you will find that I am super easy to get on with. Just supply lots of chocolate!
