We had the good fortune of connecting with Luis Velasquez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Luis, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I have always been a creative person. Art is an expression and an outlet for expressing feelings, emotions, and the human condition. Creativity is about merging art with science to explore how I can express my thoughts through my work. Also, it helps me get in touch with my emotions, clear my mind, and learn more about myself through creation.

For me, the creativity has to have the complex skill and soft skills, that’s because, in my case, I got the opportunity to learn and practice as a commercial photographer, art director, creative director, and communication strategist, and those disciplines need to have abilities, but also because those abilities need to be accompanied with decision making and purpose.

I’ve found myself getting those things together as a one all my life. Creativity is like the water: a natural and renewable resource.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My dream to have a Branding and Advertising Agency started 22 years ago when I started my first Creative firm. Then due to personal reasons, my goal was stopped for an extended period until 2022, when I got the opportunity to start my agency again. I’m growing my firm in Houston, Texas, serving the region and beyond. Our current clients are from North Carolina, Atlanta, Miami, and local Houstonians.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Houston has incredible places to go and hang out. Regarding eating, here the food is fantastic, so if you want to try authentic food, my list starts with Dukes Venezuelan Food, which is in Katy and offers a delicious option for the one who likes to try Venezuelan food. My next on the list is Jinya REeamen Bar. This restaurant is my daughter’s favorite, the ramen combination is fantastic, and the atmosphere is pleasant. My third recommendation is Wanna Bao, authentic Chinese food that will leave you wanting more if you are an adventurous foodie. Try their spicy food, and you will know something different. My last recommendation is a Houston must, Pappadeux. When it comes to seafood, give Pappadeux a try.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have been fortunate to have people who inspired me to get to the top in my career; they are many people. Still, I feel blessed to have fantastic mentors and inspiration in this part of my life and my career. The first person that crosses my mind is my wife. This super talented professional and exemplar mother inspires me to keep my dream alive every day. I would like to thank all the Sugar Land Cultural Arts Foundation board members. They have been an enormous source of knowledge and inspiration.
