About / Blaise Lavandero

As Regional Bid & Creative Design Officer at OCS, a 125-year-old facilities management company with UK roots and global reach, I shape how the brand shows up across APAC and the Middle East. I design winning bids and presentations, concept campaigns and projects, and create video campaigns, collateral and the templates our marketing teams use every day.

My role focuses on bid design and strategy, translating complex operational data into clear, compelling infographics and layouts for bids, while producing digital and marketing collateral that align with brand standards and business objectives.

In addition, I actively contribute to the conceptualization of video campaigns, from creative direction to visual execution, helping strengthen propositions, amplify win themes, and drive engagement across channels.

Before OCS, I was a Senior Marketing Specialist at Fluor and a Business Execution Associate (Senior Desktop Publisher / Designer) at Wells Fargo, where I was recognized with Manager Spotlight and Top Performer awards. I bring over 12 years of experience across brand identity, web design, motion design, and bid and proposal design.

I design and animate in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Figma, and Canva, build for the web with WordPress and HTML/CSS, and craft bids and documents in PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Outlook. For collaboration, automation, and email campaigns, I use SharePoint, Power Automate, Asana, Notion, Basecamp, Teams, and Mailchimp.

My commitment is simple: delivering clarity, quality, and purposeful design that moves decisions forward.
