Xavier Rivera

Tbh, I'm just a kid from Brentwood, NY. I didn't know advertising and design was a lane, but I found my path. I've been grinding since, and every opportunity is a chance to do something unexpected. With 13+ years in art direction and design, I've built up the necessary repertoire of skills to pay the bills, and made some things I'm really proud of. I love all things music, gaming, anime and film. My biggest accomplishment is being a father to two amazing kids. This is the short of it, so hit me up if you want to take the scenic conversation route.
