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.
