Hello!
Welcome to Richard Black's design portfolio.

He is a multidisciplinary designer living and working from Bogotá, Colombia.

Abstract

With over a decade of experience in the creative industry and more than six years as a web designer, I have contributed to the development of high-impact projects for both public and private sector organizations.

I am a results-driven professional with direct, empathetic, and effective bilingual communication skills (Spanish/English), adaptable to the language of different audiences and collaborators. This allows me to access information efficiently, mentor interdisciplinary teams to develop key skills (KPIs) tailored to each project and environment, and make decisive, strategic choices alongside business leaders. My approach ensures the creation of visually compelling, highly functional, and scalable projects that stand the test of time.

Client: MOTOGHOFEN (formerly known as KTM TORQUE)
Agency: Independent.
Role: Creative direction, visual design/prototyping in Figma, and landing page development in Drupal 10. Writing.

I'm a fan of motorcycles and a motorcyclist myself, one of those who like to get dirty in the mud and don't fear (but respects) the rain.

I met Carlos (the founder/owner of MOTOGHOFEN) more than a year ago at a motorcycling event, and being amazed with his extensive knowledge and passion on the matter, I became one of his customers and trusted him and his team with my Husqvarna.

We became friends and Carlos told me about the upcoming plans of renewing his brand with some creative people, but he had no idea about anyone who could build a self-manageable landing page to match MOTOGOFEN's new brand identity.

Sometimes it's better to have friends than money.

Ideas and life experiences came and went, so he asked if I wanted to take the challenge; little he knew that I was taking [mental] notes from the very begining to help him narrate his dream's story in a bold but empathic language.

Ingeniar Risk Intelligence is a company specialized in providing services on the fields of engineering, planning and public policy, with an emphasis on the assessment of natural hazards.

Client: Makro Office LTDA.
Agency: Idependent
Role: Visual design for print and web + Brand building.

Makro Office is a company that started selling standard office supplies in 1995, and gradually evolved to offer a wide range of services nested into three pillars: I.T infrastructure, support, and Cloud development for companies operating on the fields of finance, food, advertising, pharmaceutical and education.

We've been working together since 2012 designing and developing their corporate communication across different channels: services portfolio (print & digital), keynotes, mailings, a static website along with landing pages to display products with specific brand guidelines.

The result: a modern eye-catching yet formal visual language that has led to acquire more business transactions for the company.

Currently, a new website is on the works that will be deployed by 2025.

Client: Santo & Seña bookstore.
Agency: Pixel Club SAS.
Role: Graphic design, landing page & mockup designs plus content management on their [former] webstore.

Santo & Seña is a quirky bookshop which came to life from an alliance between PixelClub and Rey Naranjo Editores. The place talks the digital language without abandoning the analog vibes nor the social experiences offered through books, movies, drinks, objects, workshops, friends and music.

Created mockups for different product categories, wrote articles, retouched photos, and also designed and published landing pages to showcase relevant information about new objects, music and movies.
It's nice to have some creative freedom.
