“The best way to predict the futureis to create it"

I had the plessure to work alongside Rick during his time in ECCO. With his senior role of the Global Digital Designer, he is one of the few people who can take on multiple campaign projects simultaneously, but also provide significant contribution in strategic campaign ideation, creative concepts and at the same time support his colleagues or local markets with training and campaign delivery focused on quality. His unparallel inspiration and eye for detail equip him with a combination of strong attributes, which are hard to find for a professional in the digital creative world. His speed of delivery, responsive design, experience with up-to-trends creation of social media content or animations, but also his positive attitude and unique team spirit make Rick a valuable asset for any team. Rick is a passionate self-starter, who is always there for his team and strives to create innovative design solutions for any brand’s advertising objective.Markos Gkogkos - Global Consumer Egagement Senior Specialist at ECCO Shoes

Rick is an incredible team member with strong strategic, creative and design talent. In many ways, having Rick on your team is like having an mini agency in one person. He's quick and provides multiple concepts to solve problems or meet business needs. Each idea builds upon the core problem which needs to be addressed or an opportunity awaiting exploration. Unlike an external agency, Rick knows the brand's DNA so well, he's able to quickly provide ideas without needing to be brought up-to-speed every time. Rick is humble. He's quietly working, mentoring younger designers or delivery great work. Rick also has a great eye with a lens and his Instagram showcases the natural beauty sounding us here in The Netherlands. Rick is a good person, friend and team member. Anne-Marie Blaire - Digital Transformation Executive at ASK Digital Strategy Partners

Rick is an incredible designer, a pleasure to work with and an excellent colleague. His talent, eye for detail and overall versatility allow him to take relatively scaled-back or even lackluster photo assets and almost magically make them look like stunning and premium. He’s also hard-working, able to manage his time, meet ridiculously tight deadlines, and he does it all with aplomb and a very friendly attitude. Working with him was always a seamless and fruitful process, as he managed to provide fully cohesive and eye-catching designs in record time. Kind, proficient, and a critical thinker, he would make an excellent addition to any creative team, no matter the industry. I definitely would not hesitate to work alongside him again in the future.Javier Varela - Global Copywriter at KARL LAGERFELD
