Hola! I’m Ricardo Uribe, a creative leader based in San Francisco.

I’m lucky to work in an industry that lets me explore, learn, have fun, and create bold ideas for brands—building them and helping their businesses succeed. My career has taken me from helping former guerrilla members in Colombia reintegrate into society to launching global campaigns. I’ve sent a capsule to the stratosphere, filmed a commercial in zero gravity, worked with Steven Spielberg to bring ET back to the screen after 30 years, and had my work presented at DAVOS in front of the world’s female leaders.

I’ve worked at top creative agencies across multiple markets, always collaborating with brilliant people, mentoring young creatives, and learning every step of the way.

I feel lucky—and I know the best is yet to come.
