Rafael Barontini is a creative enthusiast based in Chicago. He is a designer working across a variety of mediums in a playful manner, experimenting with color, typography, collage, and visual semiotics.
In order to develop meaningful experiences for organizations and institutions, his work applies thoughtful systemic thinking by creating engaging visual solutions across multiple platforms. He has participated in projects for clients such as Adobe, Google, Glassdoor, Youtube, VMware, and Pinterest.
Rafael studied art and design at the University of Illinois Chicago, where he received his master’s degree in graphic design. There, he absorbed the acute attention to form-making associated with art and design. He continues to focus on the intersection between communication and interpretation; this intersection defines his own visual and conceptual approach—where design doesn’t live in a vacuum and is best imagined when an audience or community is involved.
