Celso Bad-an

If Salvador Dalí could make the ordinary surreal, Celso can make the ordinary look good. He’s always been curious about how ideas are shaped and brought to life. As a Graphic Designer at First Ascent since 2018, he brings that creative eye to websites, email campaigns, print collateral, and social media graphics.

Celso has a degree in Information Technology, but his design career took off after sharing his personal work online. His Behance projects caught the eye of First Ascent’s leadership, leading to a long-term role with the agency and formal UX training.

On weekends, you’ll find Celso playing pickleball, taking his dogs outdoors, or unwinding at a local cafe. 

Fun Fact:  Celso suffers from classic menu indecision, spending way too long choosing what to eat before ordering his usual dish anyway!
