Patrick Sousa

Hello! I'm Patrick, a digital designer crafting bold brand, marketing, and retail experiences. I help brands tell their story through thoughtful design solutions and user-centered strategy.

( About me )

I grew up in Toronto in the 90s — the era of Saturday morning cartoons, pixelated video games, and the golden age of pop culture and entertainment. Back then, I didn't know it, but all those bold colours, over-the-top graphics, and catchy jingles were quietly teaching me design fundamentals: storytelling, emotion, rhythm, and visual identity.


That constant stream of creativity shaped how I see the world — and how I design today. I'm a digital designer who's spent the last decade crafting work for brands that want to stand out, connect, and leave their mark. My background in advertising has taught me that great design isn't just about making things look good — it's about creating experiences that make people feel something, whether that's nostalgia, excitement, or trust.


And to do that, I strongly believe that designing with empathy at the core leads to results that are unique, evoke happiness, and are deeply meaningful. When you understand the needs and emotions of the audience you are creating for, we can reach them at a deeper level and create work that genuinely resonates.


These days, I'm located in Calgary, Alberta, always on the hunt for the next experience. I'm focused on expanding my knowledge in digital design, learning new tech, and trying to stay ahead of the curve. I’m passionate about creating strategically driven, impactful work and collaborating with talented people from all walks of life.
