Herras Creative

About Me: Hello! I'm Ryan, an award-winning independent creative specializing in Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) branding and packaging. I've had the privilege of collaborating with both major national brands and innovative start-ups, partnering with top designers, illustrators, and branding agencies across the San Francisco Bay Area. My Approach: As the founder of Herras Creative, I draw on the tenacity and grit instilled in me as the son of Filipino immigrants. Rooted in this heritage, I embrace a "people first" approach and a positive attitude, guided by the expression "Mabuhay" —meaning "live well" and "thrive." This approach ensures that every project is infused with creativity, craft, and humor, making the process engaging and enjoyable. I believe that all important work can be done with great commitment and in true "aloha" style, treating everyone like family and ensuring that every client is well taken care of. What I Do: I leverage a broad skill set and a network of experts to support founders, marketers, and entrepreneurs—from established brands to local businesses. My services include fresh ideas, art direction, strategic design, final art production, and a touch of humor to keep the process engaging. Who I Work With: Design Agencies: Seamlessly integrating into your team and pushing creative boundaries. Brand-Side Marketing & Creative Teams: Partnering to develop new concepts or revitalize existing ones. Founders, Entrepreneurs, and Start-Ups: Providing expert guidance on strategic branding to build a strong foundation for your new product or service. My Process: I have a particular passion for partnering one-on-one with key decision-makers, which allows me to offer tailored support and drive impactful results. My process is notably swift, expediting the process and accelerating your speed to the marketplace. Mabuhay & Mahalo (Live well & Thank you), Ryan
