The person behind the brand
I'm Santiago Barrionuevo, founder of Santiago Design Co. For over 10 years, I’ve been designing heritage-inspired brand identities for businesses that take their craft seriously.
My work is built around clear concepts, strong typography, thoughtful structure, and practical applications. Whether a business is starting from a rough idea, an outdated logo, or an inconsistent visual identity, I help turn that into a polished brand system built for real-world use.
Over the years, I’ve worked with founders across the US and internationally, from early-stage businesses to established brands looking to level up. My work has also been recognized by LogoLounge and Logo Wave.
What keeps me at it is the moment a client sees their brand come together and realizes it finally looks and feels like what they had in their head all along.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work best with founders and owner-led businesses that know what they’re building and want a brand that feels considered, distinctive, and built to last. Not just a quick logo, but a real identity system, something that holds up across packaging, signage, apparel, merch, and everything in between.
