Hello and welcome.
My name is Geraldo Rivera. I'm a seasoned creative with over 25 years of experience as a production artist, graphic designer, art director, and visual storyteller. I specialize in developing content that enhances brand identity and communicates messaging with clarity and impact.
My work spans a variety of industries, including education, government, B2B, and consumer products and services. Whether you're looking to refresh your brand, launch a campaign, or create compelling visuals, I bring a thoughtful, strategic approach to every project.
I'm also a photographer and offer photography services when they align with client needs. You can explore my photography portfolio at rgphotographs.com.
I’m passionate about creating work that inspires, informs, and connects with audiences—and I’d love to be a creative resource for your next project.
