Biography
Hi! I am Ciprian Bădălan, a brand designer with 18+ years of work experience in design consultancy, specializing in Visual Identity, Brand Communication & Packaging.
I am a problem solver — I like to untangle branding issues through design.
I like to create solid brands and I don’t fall easily for trends — I am not stuck in a design style and I am able to adapt depending of clients objectives.
Throughout my career I've had the opportunity to work on both large-scale branding projects and energy-bursting indie experiments. Both my conceptual approach in design and my accumulation of knowledge — the volume of cases, industries, and situations solved — enabled me to successfully lead difficult projects for clients like Heineken, Vodafone, Orange, HBO, Audi, Honda, RBS, ING Bank, Orkla Foods, Brico Depôt, Bitdefender and so on.
My work has been recognized in international competitions like Red Dot Awards, Graphis, Rebrand 100 or Pentawards, and many of my projects were published in specialty books worldwide.
