Narciso Arellano (Chicho) is a Graphic Designer, Illustrator and Director of digital Mexican art. He has extensive experience working in Interactive design, interface design and brand building through online advertising.
His passion is enlightenment and he especially enjoys working on startup projects that go beyond the big clients as they allow him more flexibility and ability to risk. However, throughout his career he has also worked for major brands such as Unilever, Nespresso, Microsoft, Nokia, Pepsi, Emirates Airlines, Volkswagen, Nike, Chevrolet or Heineken, among others.
One of the things that reassures him of his work as a designer is knowing how to offer solutions to certain challenges in a practical, logical and coherent way, a task he manages to achieve by combining the two things that he is most passionate about in the world: design and illustration.
