Jan Gallego
I am a graphic designer specialized in luxury and premium brands. I develop branding projects with an integral vision. Do not ask me for a logo. Ask me for branding with capital letters. Ask me for a brand experience to match your product.
After studying architecture at ETSAM, I studied design at the Instituto Europeo di Design. Right from the start, branding seemed to me the most exciting field. I am fascinated by the idea of synthesizing the essence of a company or a product in a unique and living concept. And I get excited when I see that people behind that brand adopt it as their own, like their own flag.
My first steps in luxury branding came a little later. Thanks to one of my clients I discovered that there was an even more demanding visual world that rewarded timelessness, subtlety and extreme attention to details.
The deeper I dip into the luxury world, the more it hypnotizes me. I know there are certain prejudices. Many believe that it is a very classic field and it is governed by flamboyance. I like that basically these prejudices exist and until now nobody has tried to question them. I accept that challenge.
"I believe in brands that are capable of inspiring, surprising and enduring time."
A New Luxury
I believe in brands that are capable of inspiring, surprising and enduring time
I believe in brands that only look at the past to become timeless icons.
I believe in creativity versus pomposity. In innovation versus repetition. In the character.
I believe in those who know that empty beauty and ostentation no longer seduce. In those who believe that today, luxury means living according to their own rules and becoming an object of desire.

he thing that I have liked most is your empathy in dealing with work. You have known how to understand the client, to adapt yourself and propose things with genius and rigor. You have achieved giving a proper solution with which we feel identified, and that can only be due to the fact that you put determination and care into your work. Without a doubt I would count on you again. Aside from the good results, your clarity of ideas facilitates dialogue and reflection on every proposal. Jorge Cortés (Latitude)
