For more than 15 years, Rudy has stayed true to the belief that graphic design, in its truest, most honest and raw form, has a unique ability to cross media, cultural and disciplinary boundaries. His mission has always been about design thinking that not only crosses but fuses the various mediums of interactive design, animation, architecture and environmental design to deliver an integrative user experience with your brand. Ultimately, compelling design speaks a universal language and drives human response.

Rudy has merged this thinking with technology, creative prowess and artistic vision to help a diverse client roster solve a variety of communication challenges. Among the many companies Rudy has worked with over the years include Sony, Disney, AT&T, Warner Bros., Mitsubishi, Nokia, SAP, VMware, Westfield and ATMEL. He leads a team of more than 20 creatives, animators, programmers and project managers -- all of whom embrace his hybrid design philosophy. Project experience includes branding, books, commercials, film titles, documentaries, mobile, web, exhibit design, experience design and often a combination of these.

Rudy's diverse creative flair is informed by deep-rooted multicultural sensibilities, a key ingredient that has led to many successful design solutions for his clients. His rich international experience adds a unique, vibrant flavor to his creative thought process, making Rudy infinitely more relatable to clients worldwide.

Published internationally in numerous design journals, including the venerable HOW, I.D., STEP and Res Magazine, Rudy has also won numerous awards and recognition for his work throughout his career, including The New York Festival's Bronze World Medal, One Show Interactive Silver Award and American Center for Design 100 show award.
