Hi, I’m Ricky Sparks. I’m a Senior Environmental Graphic Designer and Architectural Designer based in Cincinnati. For over 14 years, I’ve turned brands into branded environments—retail spaces, signage systems, and graphics that guide customers and tell a story. My background in construction and manufacturing helps me translate bold ideas into buildable solutions using CAD, 3D visualization, and fabrication-ready documentation. I design custom rural homes and modern farmhouse residences, manage client relationships and project timelines, and collaborate with architects, fabricators, and contractors to ensure accurate installation. I also sell digital home plans through e-commerce platforms and my website, helping clients bring spaces to life from concept to construction.
