Bio
Yolo López DeMarco
Rafael was the graphic designer for our Indiana Latino Business Expo 2019 and I was blown away. I have worked with other graphic designers in the past but he taught me the importance of creating a well done image right off the bat that will quickly help the viewer or client understand what the identity of the business is. Not only does he make your organization, business or event look phenomenal through his skills, but he makes the entire process a breeze as he is always prepared, organized, on time and professional. I will never go back to wanting "just a logo" after working with Rafael!

Offering a quick shout out to Rafael of R3 Design! I recently engaged Rafael to build a much needed website and provided Rafael with a short timeline and a number of specific requests so the website would be exactly like I wanted it to be. Rafael succeeded on all fronts! Understanding, Timeliness, Responsiveness, and Quality are just a few of the words that come to mind as I reflect on this engagement. Thank you Rafael!
