Background

About Richard B.

With a diverse career spanning three decades, I bring a wealth of experience as a creative professional. For over a decade, I owned and operated Tramp Imperial Travel, a venture that allowed me to delve into my passion for cultural exploration, specifically curating immersive tours of Morocco. From catering to individual clients to collaborating with esteemed academic institutions and travel agencies, I crafted unique experiences that went beyond conventional tourism. One of the highlights of this period was the creation and publication of a comprehensive field guide to Morocco, a valuable resource provided to participants on my tours. Throughout my tenure with Tramp Imperial Travel, I seamlessly balanced my entrepreneurial endeavors with my role as a senior-level artist. In the realms of graphic design, publishing, advertising, and branding, I continued to offer my services as a freelance or independent artist. Simultaneously, I took on the responsibilities of Art Director, Photographer, and Video Producer for Tramp Imperial Travel, leveraging my artistic talent to enhance the visual storytelling of the brand. In 2016, my partner—an accomplished actor, writer, and voice talent—and I relocated to Los Angeles, seeking new horizons and opportunities. This move coincided with my transition to a full-time managerial position for a reputable rental car company. In this role, I focused on elevating the brand through exemplary customer service, attuned to customer needs, and identifying avenues for increased revenue. Now, having recently concluded my managerial role, I am embarking on a new chapter, revisiting the creative marketplace with renewed enthusiasm. My 30 years of expertise in graphic design, cultural exploration, and business management uniquely position me to contribute to independent pursuits. My creative endeavors span beyond graphic design, encompassing digital illustration, brand development, concept art, 3D design, and animation. Proficient in industry-standard software such as Adobe Creative Suite, Blender 3D, Character Creator and iClone, I am well-equipped to bring visions to life. My goal is to extend my services to small to mid-size businesses and make ancillary contributions to the entertainment industry. As I reinvest in my creative process, I plan to actively engage online to build and grow my network of professional contacts. My journey, marked by a seamless blend of entrepreneurship, artistic endeavors, and managerial roles, has equipped me with a unique perspective that I am excited to channel into my next creative ventures.
