Hi, I’m Sam Rios.
Creative skills comes with life experience, not just industry experience
Sam Rios
15 years on as a designer, my skill-set has grown from UI design to many areas of print, brand and animation.
Covering creative and corporate needs, I have art directed many projects from conception to final delivery whilst keeping stakeholders and teams in check globally. Wherever I may be!
My passions in life include networking, travel, photography, culture, and future technologies. This is evident through my growing channels of social content, keep an eye out as I’m working on more.
These hobbies have reflected positively in my work and how I approach every project with an open mind.

Some noteworthy projects
Rockhopping Success
What started out as a small trial period of beer brewing, grew to local fame all from the owner’s garage. What stood out was the striking brand and label design, an exciting project to undertake. Using only bold colours and a striking Rockhopper Penguin.
A Grand Wedding
Why would a wedding be worth mentioning you might say; these elegantly designed table cards is well worth a mention. The couples experiences from New York has been brought to life with a stylish patterned design, gold foiled and brushed to really make it stand out.
Now we just have to wait till COVID is over so that the wedding can go underway!
When its Scone, its gone
What started out as a branding and illustration project for a food stall for SconeQuest, led to many scone photography and marketing. Not only did the scones come out amazingly well, but they tasted fantastic too!
