Carlos "Carcalugo" Lugo is a Spain-based Graphic Designer and Art Director with a passion for branding and typographic projects. 

Drawing inspiration from the juxtaposition of geometric and organic designs, with influences from the maximalism and Op Art movements of the 1940s, he creates unique and visually striking designs. With over a decade of experience, Carlos has collaborated with leading international brands such as Wolford, Birkenstock, Meta, and ESPRIT. His expertise spans both traditional and cutting-edge sectors, including branding in the crypto world and, more recently, the dynamic intersection of fashion and digital spaces, particularly online shopping platforms.
Carlos's meticulous attention to detail and ability to navigate the complexities of remote work across time zones and cultures ensure the highest quality output. Embracing the challenges and opportunities of global collaboration, he continually expands his creative horizons by working with top-tier design studios and professionals worldwide, building a rich and ever-evolving portfolio.
