Hello. I am Brian Rodrigo Llagas.

I am a multi-disciplinary designer with work that encompasses a wide range of different platforms. My design work ranges from packaging design, print, corporate visual identities, industrial design for FMCG, brand implementation, digital, point-of-sales materials and branded environments. My training in different areas of design combined with my extensive experience working in multicultural teams of designers, customers and suppliers enables me to tailor design solutions to suit the client needs.
