Arriving in New York from Peru in 2008 with nothing but a bachelor’s degree in arts and a burning passion to create and sell new ideas, Ricardo embarked on a journey that would transform his small basement graphic design business into an award-winning Web Development & Advertising Agency in the heart of New York City. Today, DreamsAnimation.com stands tall as a testament to his unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial spirit.
Under Ricardo’s leadership, DreamsAnimation.com has expanded its services beyond web development, branching out into business consulting, PR, and brand awareness. His strategic vision and innovative approach have attracted high-profile clients such as the United Nations, Cadillac, Farmers Insurance, CPR123, and the Dominican Film Festival, among many others. Ricardo’s commitment to supporting small business owners in America has earned him numerous accolades and honors, including being recognized as the “Top Latino Leader” by Senator Robert Menendez in 2019 and receiving the prestigious “Top Hispanic Business Owner of the Year” award in 2017.
Beyond his impressive professional achievements, Ricardo has consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity and technology. His foresight led to the development of the social media app “Soldi” in 2013, which featured innovative features that were ahead of its time and later adopted by Facebook. In 2015, Ricardo partnered with Daniel Kohan to create “deafbeatz.com,” a groundbreaking music platform that aimed to empower talented musicians and singers. The platform gained global recognition and was selected for the prestigious Beta Program at the Web Summit 2015 in Dublin, Ireland.
In 2016, Ricardo identified the challenges faced by the Latino business community and launched www.latinmaps.com, a platform dedicated to promoting and supporting Latino-owned businesses. The platform experienced exponential growth during the pandemic, reaching over 30,000 businesses in 2020-2021.
