Testimonials

Garrett Murphy

Joaquín joined my team and we worked closely for over a year. He brought creative energy, enthusiasm, strong coffee and great music to each and every task. He comes with vast international experience, a wealth of technical knowledge and a bizarrely twisted eye for the most appropriate typeface - especially when you don't expect it. A whirlwind of talent. A much needed incendiary device. Rock agus roll. Never surrender. Go big - with this small guy from Cádiz! Creative Director



David Cano

I worked with Joaquin for some months while I was creative director at Brand Union Madrid (now Superunion). As you can easily see from his portfolio, he’s a talented and seasoned designer, with plenty of resources that loves music and has a fresh (as well as practical when needed) approach to projects. What you might not be able to see so clearly is that he’s a bright and cheerful teammate, that loves to socialize, share and live within a team. He was the one that had a visual reference when someone needed it, and also the one always ready to help or go for a beer after work. Super commited and a good teamworker. Also, as a designer that has been on his own for a while, we really appreciated his one-man-band approach when needed (kind of a swiss knive): digital, branding, packaging or social media… Really encourage to give him a try, he’ll deliver.

Joaquin's creativity and talent are evident in all of his projects. Regardless of the size of the task, he always brings an expert eye and a passion to exceed client expectations with a seemingly limitless source of energy. I have also found Joaquin to be an excellent colleague in both dependability and socially, he can always be relied on to lend a helping hand and is always great craic around the studio. He is an excellent driver of motivation and is constantly following the latest design trends and evolving his skills while encouraging those around him, a huge asset to any creative environment.
