I’m Rick Brayner — designer, photographer, musician, and the mind behind Squeeze The Light.
My work sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and visual clarity. I help brands understand who they are, what they stand for, and how to express that with confidence.

Raised in Brazil and shaped by Salvador, Barcelona, Maui, photography, surf, and music — my creative language comes from movement. Light. Curiosity. The feeling of being on the edge of something new.

Every project I touch starts with the same belief:
when you find your light, everything aligns — identity, purpose, and direction.

Over the past years, I’ve worked with cafés, surfwear brands, restaurants, creators, galleries, lifestyle projects, startups and individuals with a vision. Whether I’m building a brand from zero, shaping a story, designing a website, or creating the assets a business needs to move, I bring clarity, intention, and a sense of calm direction.

Squeeze The Light isn’t just a studio — it’s a way of seeing.
A way of guiding ideas from what they could be into what they must become.

Let’s build something that feels true.
