Ricardo Montes

// Graphic Designer

I’m a freelance Graphic Designer with over 3 years of professional experience working with marketing teams all over the world. I’m a goal-oriented designer with a passion to help others succeed in their personal pursuits. I obsess over the small details that make a good design a great one and focus on bringing quality and value - from the introduction to the delivered product. My unique design background makes me the perfect candidate to help your brand effectively communicate your services and ideas both digitally and in print.

My most recent experience was working with Legends Hospitality, a company that specializes in creative solutions for sports and entertainment venues around the world. Prior to my tenure there, I worked as the sole marketing designer for Houstonia - a Houston city magazine and assisted the parent company Sagacity Media with their marketing needs on other city magazines and custom publications nationwide.
