Sophie is a fantastic brand designer who gets strategy and produces amazing creative work.

We worked with Sophie on a 12-week global brand sprint and couldn't have hoped for a better experience, outcome and impact.

Sophie is creative, collaborative and most importantly reliable. Her proactivity, ability to understand the brief and exceed expectations makes Sophie the ideal partner for any brand or strategic project. She is also flexible to changes and extremely versatile working across a host of tools and platforms. Sophie is a true creative.

Above all and most importantly, Sophie is both easy and a pleasure to work with. Her presence on any project where design is required makes it more creative, enjoyable and impactful.

If you're building your little black book of freelancers, Sophie Riano's name needs to be in there. Sophie is not only a fantastic designer, but she's reliable, fast, accommodating and an absolute pleasure to work with. I can not recommend her enough. Thank you for all your hard work Sophie, you've been a little beacon of light in these challenging times.

Sophie is a brilliant designer with an incredible work ethic. She has a real knack for getting under the skin of creative briefs, blending strategic understanding with a flair for eye-catching, memorable design. Whether it's developing new visual identities with wow factor, or bringing her design craft to high-profile ad campaigns, the quality of Sophie's work is always outstanding. We first worked together at BBH and Sophie was one of the first designers we spoke to when we launched Atomic Matter. As soon as she became available, we brought her into the agency and she excelled as always, seamlessly integrating into the team before delivering some beautiful work that instantly impressed our clients. I would highly recommend Sophie to any agency or in-house team looking to raise the bar creatively.

Sophie is a bonafide design ninja - politely and adeptly traversing a flurry of design requests large and small from colleagues and clients alike. Whether it’s setting out with a new open brief or effortlessly bouncing back endless tweaks from multiple departments, Sophie attacks every task with a smile. Her design chops, eye for colour, great energy and optimism mean she’s hot property in our department and I always emit a short “Yessss!!” when told she’s been allocated to my job. Hope she stays with our team foreverrrrrr.

I had the pleasure of working with Sophie when she was our Brand Designer at Primer, and she made a huge impact.

She truly levelled up our brand and created something that stood out in our industry which felt fresh and distinctive. Sophie is a real go-getter too: proactive, reliable, and always straight on anything that needed doing.

Beyond her work, Sophie brought warmth and camaraderie to the team, something that’s especially valuable in a remote-first company. I’d highly recommend her to any team looking for an exceptional brand designer and a brilliant teammate.

Sophie is a brilliant designer. She is self-motivated, passionate and great at leading both projects and teams. Sophie is one of the only designers i've worked with that has a real grasp of time management and project finances; a rare find! She is very switched on in a business sense, very professional in front of clients and requires little in the way of Project Management support. She brings a unique energy and ethos to the team and is a real asset. A pleasure to work with, I hope to cross paths with Sophie again in the future!
