ABOUT
Welcome to the rebel side of branding.
Black Lemonade is a design & branding studio built for the bold.Fueled by late nights, loud music, and a love for gritty beauty, I craft visual identities that are as sharp as they are soulful. Every brand I build is rooted in intention—designed to stand out, connect deeply, and age like a leather jacket: better with time. Whether you're launching something fresh or leveling up what already exists, I'm here to help you make noise, stay weird, and look damn good doing it.Black Lemonade

RICKY
Hey, I’m Ricky — designer, creative rebel, and founder of Black Lemonade. Based in Toronto, surrounded by guitars, studio gear, and way too many fonts… we make a pretty good crew. My brain’s basically a mixtape of retro dreams, analog tech, and sci-fi daydreams, always spinning at full volume.I live for crafting brands with attitude — the kind that don’t ask for permission, they just show up and own it. If it’s bold, gritty, or a little off-center, I’m all in. I’m that guy who thinks your logo should feel like a power chord and your website should move like a movie trailer.But real talk? The best part of this gig is vibing with my clients — turning ideas into something unforgettable and having a damn good time doing it. I’m here for the wild ideas, the messy brainstorms, and yeah… definitely the coffee.Ricky

VALUES
DESIGNS THAT HIT DIFFERENT
I'm constantly digging through design history, future trends, and everything in between to make sure every brand I craft feels timeless and fresh. I blend vintage soul with modern edge—so your brand doesn’t just follow trends, it sets them.REAL TALK, REAL CONNECTION
From day one, it’s all about getting to know you — your story, your vision, your why. I don’t do surface-level. I talk to you like a fellow builder, dreamer, and rule-breaker. Together, we’ll create a brand that looks incredible and actually feels like you.VIBES WITH WEIGHT
I want your brand to feel like stepping into a world — something you can hear, touch, smell, and remember. Every detail is handcrafted with intention, built to carry weight, tell a story, and make people feel something real.
