Ricardo Manavello

Ricardo is the Founder and CEO of Artex Productions and has been the captain steering the ship since the company’s inception. He started his career in the industry as an award-winning cinematographer of big-label music videos and feature films, which helped him shape the aesthetic that drives the brand. Today, he navigates the choppy and perilous seas of entrepreneurship, guiding Artex away from the rocks of bad business decisions and shopworn nautical clichés. On weekends, he is known to dissolve into his alter ego, Puddles, Taker of Long Margarita Naps.
