Senior Graphic Designer & Brand Specialist. Over 20 years working in-house, in agencies and on my own — creating identities, websites and campaigns for clients in Spain, the UK and beyond.
Open to in-house roles, agency positions or long-term remote contracts.
A brand is not just a logo. It is the precise emotion a company leaves in the world.
Pao Restrepo.
I'm Pao Restrepo — Senior Graphic Designer & Brand Specialist, based in Mallorca. Over 20 years I've worked in-house and independently, for clients ranging from RIU Hotels & Resorts to tech startups, recruitment firms and non-profits across Spain, the UK and Colombia. The context changes. The standard doesn't.
My profile is a bit unusual: I think like a brand director and handle hands-on delivery like a developer — visual identity, UX and front-end (HTML5, CSS3) in one person. Fewer handoffs. Less lost in translation.
Every project is 100% bespoke — no templates, no shortcuts. I work independently, within in-house teams or alongside agencies. The approach is always the same.
Logo, colour, typography, brand guidelines — the whole system, from strategy to final delivery. Everything your team needs to stay consistent across every channel and market.
Websites built to fit your brand and do a job. From a landing page to a full corporate site — designed with UX Visual thinking, built with clean semantic HTML5 & CSS3, and supported by AI-assisted tools that help move faster without cutting corners. Fully responsive, ready to launch.
Social media, email, banners, digital ads — every asset designed to look and feel like it came from the same place. B2B and B2C, built around your brand voice and strategic direction.
Available for in-house roles, agency placements or long-term remote contracts. Equally comfortable working independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Brand identity, digital and campaign projects delivered across hospitality, tech, recruitment and professional services — in Europe and beyond.

Working with Paola was a truly transformative experience. She deeply understood the essence of our foundation, translating the concept of alchemy into a powerful visual identity aligned with our purpose. The result exceeded our expectations and beautifully reflects our mission to create meaningful social impact and wellbeing. Would not hesitate to recommend her.

I don't start designing until I understand the problem. Most of the work happens before anything visual is made.
Before starting any project I research the market, study the competition and understand how the brand is positioned — so every decision is grounded, not guesswork.
Before touching a single pixel, we define the brand strategy and visual direction together. Clarity first, always.
Intensive visual exploration, refined until we reach the most powerful and coherent solution. Every decision has a solid reason behind it.
Production-ready files, complete brand guidelines and — when included — impeccable front-end code (HTML5 + CSS3) ready to launch. Organised, documented and ready to hand off.
If you need a senior designer who can manage brand, digital and web from start to finish — I am available for full-time, part-time or long-term remote contracts.
