(he/him)
Hola!
I'm Roy Patterson,
a creative director, conceptual creative, brand magician, color expert, content strategist/creator, event designer/producer, interior design wizard & a killer project manager.
I am a proud gay, Latino, first-generation Mexican-American immigrant based in the vibrant heart of New York City. My journey as a creative director, conceptual creative, and brand magician has been anything but conventional, but it’s precisely this unconventional path that shaped the unique perspective I bring to my craft.
From my beginnings as a dancer, actor, and choreographer to my evolution as a multifaceted creative professional, every step of my journey has been fueled by passion, determination, and an unwavering belief in the power of creativity to inspire change.
I’ve built a career around creating solutions that not only meet the needs of my clients but elevate their visions to new heights.
My expertise spans branding, visual identities, corporate branding systems, editorial and web design, social media strategy and execution, content creation, event design and production, and interior design. Every project I take on is approached with intention, precision, and a deep commitment to making a lasting impact.

Proudly making
change in the world
A message from Roy:
As a proud gay latino first generation Mexican-American immigrant I've been always aware of the importance of diversity, inclusion and representation not only in the work space but also in the world.
As a creative director I've had the opportunity to make tangible change within the companies I have worked for and also within the industries I've been a part of.
At my core, I help businesses and individuals tell their stories authentically. Whether it’s designing a cohesive visual identity, crafting a compelling editorial spread, or planning a multi-dimensional event, my work is about creating connections.
For businesses, I offer branding solutions that resonate deeply with their audiences. I develop style guides and systems that ensure consistency while leaving room for creativity. I help clients navigate the ever-evolving landscape of social media with strategies that are both effective and authentic. And for those looking to create memorable spaces, I design interiors that feel both functional and inspiring.
What sets me apart is my ability to combine technical expertise with emotional intelligence. I don’t just create for the sake of creating—I listen. I dive into the heart of my clients’ challenges, understanding their goals and values before crafting solutions.
My work doesn’t just solve problems; it reflects the essence of who my clients are and what they stand for.
Change is important, change is possible, and change, specially positive change, is in our hands.
