About – Heric Abramo

I am Heric (with a silent H), a seasoned Design Director, Designer, and Visual Artist driven by curiosity. With a background as a -somewhat successful- graffiti artist, I enjoy experimenting with different approaches, media, and techniques, which has led me to a wide range of experiences. From designing magazines, book covers, interfaces, creating fonts, animating to illustration and painting for some of the biggest brands on the planet. All of this has shaped me into the multidisciplinary creative I am today, with a particular expertise in motion design and branding.

Available for hire. Please say hi!
