Genaro Solis Rivero
Master Ideator
Bio:
Genaro Solis Rivero is a graphic designer and a design educator teaching Graphic Design in the Department of Art and Art History at Baylor University... since the fall of 2023. He began his career as a graphic designer at Equilibrio in Mexico City and co-founded Contrasto Group, a graphic design studio specializing in editorial design and branding. After Genaro received his M.F.A. degree from Texas State in 2012, he opened Genaro Design, a boutique branding agency in San Antonio, Texas. The spring of 2020 brought a great opportunity for a joint venture with Legacy79; since Genaro has been the Master Ideator of the L79 Family and a proud 79er! Genaro strongly believes in giving back to the community; hence, he has utilized his expertise in graphic design to support several cause-based NPOs throughout the years. His philanthropic spirit began with his involvement with the Shriners Hospitals for Children in the late ’90s. In 2017, Genaro undertook the Classical Music Institute rebrand as a pro-bono work and this relationship led him to serve as Chair of the Marketing Committee of the CMI Board of Directors for a couple of years. Genaro’s communication design has been recognized by national and international industry-leading organizations and publications, which include: The American Advertising Federation, Art Directors Club of Houston, Creative Summit, Dallas Society of Visual Communications, Good50x70, Graphis Press, and LogoLounge. Teaching what I love and loving what I teach is how Genaro describes his new passion for design education. He loves a good glass of wine, is a foodie—and espresso is a must. Genaro loves to travel and learn about different cultures. He is a Dallas Cowboys fan, although his passion for horses influenced his inclination for the Denver Broncos when he was a child. He is a member of the Community Bible Church and enjoys contemporary Christian music. He is married, and his two boys keep him busy when he is not teaching, reading, or designing.Read More
