Rick Who?

Big ideas. Sharp design. Global impact.


I’m a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction and Design, with over 15 years of experience across branding, advertising, and digital production. I specialize in turning complex challenges into simple, powerful, beautifully crafted ideas that deliver real results.

 

My creative journey began in Rio de Janeiro, grew in New York, and expanded in Los Angeles. Today, I work remotely with agencies, brands, and startups around the world. Along the way, I’ve led global campaigns, built brand identities from the ground up, and delivered everything from fast-turnaround pitch decks to full-scale launches.

 

I bring a mix of strategic thinking, creative direction, design expertise, and production know-how. I’ve led teams, directed shoots, collaborated across time zones, and shipped thousands of assets under pressure. Whether the brief calls for conceptual storytelling or hands-on execution, I’m always focused on creating work that connects and moves people.

 

I also co-lead RIMA with my creative partner Maitê Albuquerque. We are a flexible creative duo that provides scalable support for agencies and brands, with a focus on advertising, digital and graphic design, branding, and generative AI.

 

Looking for a creative who can think big, work smart, and raise the bar? Let’s chat.
