Who we are

Hello!! We are Belmont - a full-service creative agency devoted to pushing brands forward using art, technology, and design.  We are a group of forward-thinking creative pro­fes­sion­als dedicated to pushing the limits of design while simultaneously never losing sight of timeless compositions for brands.

Belmont was founded in 2020 by renowned digital artist & Creative Director, Magdiel Lopez, and the Founder of Artist Uprising™, Merrick Porchéddu, as a response to the wide array of businesses in need of taking a progressive & innovative marketing initiative through a global change. Lopez and Porchéddu saw the need to help brands in their pursuit of authenticity by using an Avant-guard, artful design approach. In a world of rapid, constant progress, there has never been a greater need for brands to lean into the dynamic opportunities in which art, technology, and design yield for true growth.

Although Belmont is a relatively young company, the number of successful client campaigns ranges back over a decade for Artist Uprising™ and Magdiel Lopez. Lopez, who has worked with MTV, Warner Brothers/DC Comics, Nike, Apple, and many other global brands, has been featured in the New York Times, Entrepreneur, Harvard Business Review, and serves as a design mentor, to this day, for Adobe. Artist Uprising™ whose mission is to “abolish starving artistry” has been featured in Forbes as a “business to watch” for famously curating advancing new artists & entertainers, and then commissioning breakout talent for corporations such as IBM, Meta, Bumble, Airbnb, Spotify, Live Nation, and more.
