The endless creativity of artsigma

It’s been a while since we caught up with one of 99 designs by Vista’s most prolific (and dare we say legendary) logo designers, art sigma. A lot has changed in the 7 years since we talked, but a few things remain the same: artsigma still works exclusively on 99 designs, and he has incredibly impressive stats to show for it.

artsigma is the handle of Brazil-based creative Eduardo Lessa Venancio, and he’s been designing on the platform for over a decade. In that time, he has completed nearly 350 1-to-1 projects with 97 repeat clients and won 587 competitions. That’s a lot of branding! And that means he has a lot of experience winning competitions and getting follow-up work: the ideal situation for any freelance creative.

In this long overdue update, we dive into Eduardo’s endless creativity, his advice for landing the client, and his tips for staying inspired.

Hey, Eduardo! Congratulations on 10 years on 99designs! how does it feel

It wasn’t always easy, but my achievements showed me that I can improve every day. 2022 was very good for me and I could focus exclusively on 1-to-1 projects these days.

I will say that since I started working on 99 designs, I have gotten better at seeing the projects that fit my profile and filtering them to better manage my time. I have won many projects working on 99 designs, and these achievements help me and my wife to make our dreams come true.

You’ve been designing for over 15 years and you always seem to keep up with what’s fresh....
