Hi, I'm 
.
Hi, I'm but people also call me things like
brand designer.
illustrator.
UI designer.
system builder.
dad-joker.
Crafting clean, functional, and deeply intentional visual systems from the ground up.
Creating expressive artwork, custom character designs, and bespoke vector assets.
I build visual systems that scale effortlessly.
For over 18 years, I’ve paired structured graphic design with custom illustration. I don’t just make things look pretty—I design intentional visual standards that help businesses grow and maintain their branding consistency across every touchpoint.
Capabilities built for any creative challenge.
Having a cross-disciplinary background means I’m just as comfortable inside a rigid digital layout as I am sketching a custom mascot from scratch. My core daily toolkit includes:
Brand Identity Systems
Bespoke Illustration
Iconography
Print + Packaging Design
UI Digital Design
Lettering + Typography
Presentation Architecture
Digital + Social Content
Custom Vector Art + Assets
Web Layout + Prototyping
Apparel Graphics
Front-End Dev
Wordpress & Elementor
Building clean, functional, and deeply intentional brand systems from the ground up.

Let's chat!
Design is best done in good company.
The best creative solutions happen when egos are left at the door, and the focus stays entirely on the craft. Whether I’m partnering with cross-functional developers, marketing directors, or fellow creatives, I prioritize uncomplicated collaboration, smooth handoffs, and a shared respect for the work we’re building.
Designer, illustrator, dad, and relentless optimist.
My name is Rick Martin. I’m driven by a simple belief: there is no better feeling than using your hands and your brain to make a tangible, positive impact on a business or a community.
When I’m not deep in a design file, you can usually find me snacking, over-analyzing 90s hip-hop, or trying to make my family laugh.
