Hello, my name is Richard Tavares, and I am a highly skilled graphic designer, video editor, and multimedia specialist. My career began in a design agency, where I worked with a range of start-up and Fortune 500 companies on branding, marketing, and advertising projects. Through this experience, I honed my skills in design theory, color theory, typography, and visual communication.
After working in a design agency, I transitioned into the aerospace industry, where I demonstrated my versatility as a designer by taking on a range of roles and tasks. I played a critical role in developing and maintaining the company's brand identity across multiple platforms. As a designer on Web teams, I worked closely with developers to ensure that the company's online presence and user experience (UX) aligned with the brand's visual identity. I collaborated with the marketing team to create ads and promotional media that were consistent with the brand's messaging and guidelines, and I designed signage for events that reflected the brand's aesthetics.
In addition to my work on brand identity, I worked extensively on proposals for commercial and government clients, using my design skills to create eye-catching covers that helped our proposals stand out from the competition. I also created technical illustrations and full documents, including executive summaries, to support our proposals and help our clients understand our solutions. My versatility and ability to contribute to different aspects of the proposal process enabled me to become an integral part of the team.
As my career progressed, I expanded my role in video editing, motion graphics, and post-production. I crafted compelling stories and visuals for our customers to showcase their satellites and missions, highlighting their unique capabilities and contributions. I have produced videos for a range of customers, including Intelsat, Planet Labs, SiriusXM, BSAT, Telstar, EchoStar, Psyche, NGA, DoD, DARPA, Eutelsat, AsiaSat, Hispasat, Embratel, JCSat, PSN, Bulgaria Sat, and many others. My technical skills in video editing, as well as my ability to create engaging and impactful narratives, have consistently been praised by clients and colleagues.
In my free time, I also did freelance work, collaborating with a range of clients from various industries, including entertainment, sports, fashion, and more, which allowed me to develop a diverse skill set and a deep understanding of how to tailor my designs and videos to specific audiences.
Overall, I am a highly motivated and creative individual who is always looking for new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I bring a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.
