Richard AbdallaSix years in, no breaks. I fell for design because it is where art meets tech — a way to solve real problems and get paid for it. Trained under brand designers Farouq Osuadale and Joboson Chisaokwu, now the on-call design hand for agencies and brands that need work executed right the first time.
Certain assets take real skill to deliver, and I position everything, from pricing to onboarding, to make that value clear.
Design should stand out and still be instantly placeable to its industry. I build from strong references, then push past them.
Design delivered on time keeps its value. I move fast without cutting quality because I know the best practices cold.
Send the brief, the idea, or the half-finished file. You’ll get a clear timeline upfront and a first draft faster than you expected.
Speed is one of my biggest strengths. I work any time of day and I am fast with my tools, so most standard tasks like social assets, logo concepts and marketing materials turn around in 24 to 48 hours. Larger projects get a clear timeline upfront so you always know when to expect delivery.
The full Adobe Creative Suite — Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, XD and Adobe Express — plus Figma and Canva. That means I can work in almost any file format or platform you use, and pick up existing projects regardless of what tool they started in.
Absolutely. Revisions are part of the process. I am easy to communicate with and take feedback well. The number of rounds depends on the project scope and is always agreed on upfront. My goal is a result you are genuinely happy with.
Yes. I currently work on retainer with a US-based marketing agency and I am open to additional retainer clients. If your business has consistent design needs, reach out and let's discuss what that could look like.
Whatever you need — print-ready PDF, high-resolution PNG or JPEG, editable AI, PSD, INDD or Figma source files. Just let me know your requirements at the start and everything is delivered correctly.
