Brand work
that holds up
for a decade.

I'm Tomás. I work with small and medium businesses on identity, print and digital brand systems — two or three clients at a time, start to finish, no handover to a junior.

  • Two print applications
  • Digital-first guideline (PDF + Figma)

What clients say

Quieter than reviews.

Selected notes from people I worked with closely — clients I still see once or twice a year, over coffee.

“Tomás was the person who taught us what a brand actually is, as a system rather than a logo. Five years on, we've barely had to change anything — it still looks current.”
Emma GarrowFounder · Kiln Bakery · 2024 & 2025
“He understood the audience before he understood the brief. By the first presentation we knew this was the right person, and by the last we knew we'd got the right work.”
Dario ParedesDirector · Firstwell Gallery · 2024
