Hi! I'm Reikko. But my real name is Retchie Navarro. I am a freelance artist and lives in Philippines. I switch between a bunch of mediums so I just call myself a visual artist, but here’s what I do most often: Branding, Web Design, Illustration, Print Design, and Application design. I also do some work with WordPress. I’m a natural skeptic that believes in simple answers and honesty. One day I want to have my own café, serve people good food and inexpensive, but that’s a different story. Here are the following services I cater.
Branding is quite possibly the most important part of any design project, as it is the first element that people really see and the one you need them to remember. Your brand has to communicate both your character as much as your service, so the tone, style and application of your brand is vitally important to get right.
I offer a full breadth of branding services from one of web based logos, to full brand packages, which include multiple variants for different applications, brand bibles, and full stationary design.
While in no way limited to these, the following are a list of branding services I have on offer:
- Company
- Application
- Product
I just love design in every way. There is a level of satisfaction that can barely be compared to when creating a new design, especially one that you know is really pushing your skills to new levels. I make a valid effort with each and every project to make it better than my last, meaning that I never have and never will rest on my laurels. I will never be satisfied with where I am, and will always yearn to create something better. I believe this is the only mentality to have when you work in design. This industry, as with its styles, trends and fashions, is ever growing, ever moving and ever changing. I will always want to be just that little bit better!
The design services that I offer cover every facet of the design spectrum:
- Web Design
- Mobile Application Design
- All forms of Print and Marketing Materials
llustration, is the root of everything I do. I started out as a layout artist back in my highschool years. While I love all the other disciplines that I offer, nothing else fulfills me as much as creating characters. No other art form, in my opinion, can evoke such an immediate response from the viewer. I love to see a person’s face light up upon seeing a new character, its fantastic, and makes every last second of effort worth it.
Illustration has so many uses in today’s world, and I work in many different capacities as an illustrator, some of which include:
- Book Illustration
- llustrated Branding
- Illustration for Websites & Digital Mediums
Creative Directing for Photography is the only skill I showcase that I do not offer commercially. As an artist, you need to keep something back for yourself, something untouched and outside of the commercially creative realm. It is, in my opinion, what keeps you fresh.
As I predominantly create themes for High Fashion and Editorial, it gives me time to recharge my brain and let it stimulate to create more great ideas. All a tad over the top I know, but I really do draw a lot of inspiration from the concepts I create and the people around me.

I always love Melissa Rodwell and her works make me want to ask more and create even more great concepts. I was reading some tutorials when Melissa posted a new article in her blog, it’s a contest! I just ignored it for awhile since I thought that the contest was only meant for professional photographers and the theme of the concept might be out of my range. Continue reading

I was surfing images from Google when I came across a painting of Michelangelo named Pieta. I suddenly was inspired of shooting something artsy, yet a bit provocative and somewhat sacrilegious. It was nearly Halloween then, so the timing was very perfect and the rest is history. Continue reading
