Ricky Santos
Specialties: Graphic Design, Digital Animation, Web Design
Ricky was born in Divinópolis, Brazil and spent the first four years of life there. In 2000, he and his family moved to Jackson. His father opened a painting company and Ricky helped every summer. But Ricky felt like painting wasn’t his career goal.
In high school, Ricky thought he would pursue a career as an engineer because he wanted to do a lot of problem-solving. But he soon realized that math was not well suited for him. So he began to search for another career option that involved both creative and practical problem solving.
He found both of these items in the graphic design world. Ricky said, “I’m excited to work with Adelsberger Marketing because it will give me a chance to work with so many businesses in the local community and help them grow their business.
