Ramdwin González-Otero is a designer and educator from Caguas, Puerto Rico. He takes a reflective and multidisciplinary approach to design, a quality he also brings to his brand strategy, development, and activation projects.
Ramdwin has been a faculty member at Ana G Mendez University’s School of Design and Architecture. He is co-founder of 404 Coffee and Beers. Beyond a food and beverage place, 404 is a place centered on a transversal design approach promoting a culture of creativity and a spirit of resistance allowing him to contribute to his local community.

En 2026 me desempeñé como profesor conferenciante de Diseño y Comunicación en Isthmus, Panamá, impartiendo Taller 8, enfocado en identidad visual y sistemas gráficos. Acompañé a los estudiantes en el desarrollo de proyectos progresivos, desde la investigación y conceptualización hasta la construcción y aplicación de una identidad. Mi enfoque docente conecta la estrategia con la experimentación visual y el análisis del contexto cultural, fomentando el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de fundamentar y comunicar decisiones de diseño.
