Hi, I'm Tony Rivas.

I bring a very particular set of skills to the table - honed over a long career
spent solving creative problems that others find unsolvable.

What does that look like in practice? Bespoke design and art direction. CG and photography, retouched and refined - or merged into something neither could be alone. Campaign assets polished to an exquisite finish. The kind of work that makes Creative and Marketing teams look like heroes.

That career has taken me from New York City ad agencies and production houses
all the way to Silicon Valley, where I spent over a decade as part of Apple's in-house design team - keeping some of the most demanding creative and executive teams on the planet happy. Based in San Francisco, I work with tech, retail, financial, and design firms who need serious creative firepower, fast.

I work well solo or embedded in a team, and I genuinely thrive under pressure and tight deadlines. You'll often find me in a dark corner somewhere, deep under NDA - working quickly, cleanly, and always discreetly.

Speaking of which: much of my work lives behind confidentiality agreements, so what you'll find here is a curated (and occasionally password-protected) selection. The full picture is best shared over a conversation.

So let's have one.

Reach out, and let's talk about what I can do for you. — T
