Sergio rocks any challenge put in front of him andis by far one of the best designers i’ve been in the trenches with.I would strongly recco Sergio.
Paul Skeffington, VP Executive Creative Director

Two things you get when you hire Sergio Bello – fantastic design and a can-do attitude. On my first day working with Sergio our project kept us in the studio late.
I needed help over the weekend – Sergio was the first to say he was in. And that weekend he designed awesome work that helped get us on track.
After that he produced stellar print, web and TV design for six months. Most of the time under great pressure.
The gig ended, so Sergio moved on. But I’d have him on my team anytime.

Sergio is an extremely talented designer and creative thinker!
While working together on Pernod Ricard, he created beautiful campaign visuals and various retail format displays to drive sales and engagement.
Every brand within the portfolio had a specific look and tone of voice, to which Sergio would match his design aesthetic.
Any challenge, large or small, he would step up to the plate and get busy creating.
Sergio is proficient in the latest Adobe Creative Cloud software but was eager to learn new skills as well.
He began working with Cinema 4D, learning how to model dimensional schematics and displays to create impactful retail sell sheets and toolkits.
This helped push the envelope for sales managers and allowed retailers to see products, campaigns and engaging work within their store.
Additional to his design abilities and technical skills,
Sergio equips himself with the latest production trends to ensure his campaign work leaves a lasting impact on clients and consumers.
From printing techniques and materials to digital integration, Sergio thinks through it all.
He also attended extracurricular events such as Art Basel, and various workshops to further push his work.
I would highly recommend Sergio for any design needs you may have.
He has an incredible ability to take any product and turn it into a work of art. He is passionate about creating beautiful, thought-provoking campaigns and
he is exceptionally meticulous with his retouching so that every job he produces is a polished and refined masterpiece.
