We are proud to announce that Diego Casco was included on the El Financiero’s Top 40 Under 40 list, published earlier this year.
El Financiero, one of the most highly ranked Costa Rican e-journals focusing on themes of business, finance, electronics and economics, acknowledges the honourees for their “ambitious spirit” and contributions to Costa Rica, both at home and abroad.
The article features a quote by Diego describing the experience of building a career in a new country, “It’s like being born again. You don’t know anybody, so opportunities are limited. Having a degree helps; but it is still challenging to adapt both socially and professionally.” The article goes on to describe how he earned success and began his own studio, establishing himself within the graphic design community in Canada, and intends to ultimately establish a second office in Costa Rica.

Casco Design is proud to support this achievement and to be a part of Diego’s growing success.

We’re excited to settle into our new studio! It has been a long weekend in more ways than one, but we have finally finished moving! We are still undergoing a flurry of activity as we get ourselves fully operational at our new offices. If you need to get in touch with us, please call 416-275-9671. We appreciate your patience during this transition.

Our new address is:
675 King Street West, Suite 204
Toronto, ON M5V 1M9

Our phone number will stay the same 416-921-0082 but we do have a new fax number: 416-921-7760.

Why the re-branding? It was simply time that our company name reflected our diverse capabilities. Starting out as a one man design shop, Diego Casco built a talented team with a “can do” attitude, allowing Graphic Point Design many opportunities to explore beyond design. Having established strategic alliances with an array of communications experts over the years, we have all the resources necessary to achieve your desired results.

What does this mean to you? Even though our name has changed, our clients will continue to experience the same great service, passion and enthusiasm for producing incredible results. We believe in providing quality work and value driven results through our client centered approach.

We look forward to building on our current business relationships and starting new endeavours.
