A Little About Me

Hello! My name is Ruben Matamoros, the founder of Valiant Creative, which is my design studio based out of the Tampa Bay area in Florida, USA – although, I hail from the beautiful and most peaceful land on earth, Costa Rica. Therefore, yes I am fluently bilingual in both English and Spanish. Specializing in logo and web design, I offer design services to businesses of all shapes and sizes, ultimately improving their bottom line by creatively crafting solutions to their business problems.

 

I hold a Bachelor degree from Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida. Graduating with honours at the top of my class receiving the Advanced Achiever Award. During graduation I gave a speech as the representative of my class. Since than I've been perfecting pixels and creating design solutions from local clients, to virtually the entire world. Design is my passion, meanwhile cognizant of the value it's bringing to you and your company.

 

Outside of design I enjoy martial arts, soccer, bike riding and any type of workout to get my heart rate up after sitting all day crushing pixels. Most of all, I love to travel with my beautiful wife and three daughters.
