Diego Casco, R.G.D., President and Creative Director
Respected in both his field and his community, Diego often speaks at networking and professional development events, where he shares his business experience and thoughts on design. His active involvement with RGD Ontario ignited a Firm Owner initiative, where discussions about the business of design take place. He regularly leads Design and Marketing seminars at the Learning Enhancement Centre and volunteers his expertise to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Diego has been in the graphic design and communications industry since 1994. In 2002, he founded Casco Design and Communications. He has since built a team of talented designers and strategic thinkers, and continues to expand their portfolio of great work for including award winning corporate identities, advertising, signage and websites for government and private entities.
Diego is honoured by the inclusion of Casco Design in the RGD Ontario Studio Tours on August 26, 2010. To be introduced by the RGD in their invitation to the event as “… (one of) Toronto’s top design studios.” is a source of pride not only for Diego, but also the studio as a whole.

Slava Motovilov, Graphic Designer
Slava joined the Casco Design team as an intern shortly after graduating from the reputable York/Sheridan Graphic Design program in early 2010 with a Bachelor of Design. After working with Casco for six months, Slava sought to add to his value by gaining International experience in his profession, embarking on a four month adventure living in the UK.
While in the UK, Slava began an internship at EcoSwitch, an environmental portal, where he worked on projects dealing with visual identity design, illustration, photography, and web design, proving his value as readily there as he did here at Casco. Slava left EcoSwitch to return to Casco Design in early 2011.
Slava’s approach to design is informed by his extracurricular passions, bicycle trials, road cycling, as well as auto racing. It is this approach to activities involving the taking of measured risks that allows his design to explore new and original avenues.
