Hi, I'm but people also call me things like
brand designer. illustrator. UI designer. system builder. dad-joker.

the Designer

Crafting clean, functional, and deeply intentional visual systems from the ground up.

the Illustrator

Creating expressive artwork, custom character designs, and bespoke vector assets.

I build visual systems that scale effortlessly.

For over  18 years, I’ve paired strategic graphic design with bespoke illustration. I don’t just make things look good—I build intentional solutions that help brands scale.

Capabilities built for any creative challenge.

My  cross-disciplinary  background has taught me how to pivot seamlessly between different mediums. Whether a project requires strict, pixel-perfect digital guidelines or raw, expressive visual assets, my core strengths include…

Great design is a team sport.

The best creative solutions happen when ego is left at the door. Whether I’m collaborating with cross-functional developers, corporate marketers, or fellow creatives, I prioritize clear, honest  communication  and a shared respect for the craft.

Designer, illustrator, dad, and relentless optimist.

My name is  Rick Martin.  I’m a visual strategist driven by a simple belief: there is no better feeling than using your hands and your brain to make a tangible impact on a business, a community, or the greater good.

When I’m not being creative, you can usually find me snacking, over-analyzing 90s hip-hop, or trying to make my family laugh.
