I’m Rocky Roark. I’ve always loved to doodle. I’ve been a freelance illustrator for most of my career, and in 2016 I founded Blue Cyclops Design Co., a branding and illustration agency based in San Diego, CA. These days I do a lot more than doodling — I work with clients to bring their stories to life. Blue Cyclops specializes in visual branding, responsive brand systems and logos, illustration style development, and graphic design.
Rocky was organized and professional from the start, with a clear process and framework for how the project would go. I was impressed by the care he took to understand the project goals, explain his (great) design decisions, and find thoughtful solutions.

Rocky’s design process was transparent and collaborative, and we appreciated his thoughtful videos walking us through each iteration. We’re thrilled with the final product, which perfectly represents the new Team Hamster! brand, and we look forward to working with Rocky on future projects.

Rocky is an extraordinary creative designer and my go-to for any brand-related design projects. He brings a creative flair and unique style that makes it easy to trust him and let him do what he does best. Rocky is a true professional who brings process and strategy to his work that helps it hit the mark each time. Big fan.
