Discreto Consilio
Born and raised in the hometown city of Caracas, Venezuela. Since the very first beginning and after graduating from college I have always designed open-mindedly considering the subjectivity, the balance and the necessities of the huge and ever-growing mutant world design market, an “avant-garde” one which refers to no particular manual or guide when it comes to explaining the natural act of creativity. This last decade working officially now as an independent creative director on behalf of my own design firm I have faced and solved different types of print, web & multimedia design projects which have given me total satisfaction and an unbeatable auto-self-learned working experience.
As of November 2018, FpFproductions corporate image and logo were completely redesigned and changed for a new, bold, outstanding, and complex logotype inspired in me and representing the different psychological processes that take place whenever creating, thus celebrating now 10 years as a full freelance designing studio.
