about
a little bit of how I became a graphic designer. and a typeface nerd.
graduated in graphic design at belas artes de são paulo, I started my career in branding at futurebrand in 2007. during a period of four years, I specialized in brand design and editorial graphic design. I honed my skills when I joined the reverb team in the following two years, participating in the structuring of the agency's brand identity creation division, exploring strategic knowledge in the positioning and language creation processes.
after that, I worked as a senior/lead designer at questtonó, where I started to use design processes not only at the service of the visual, but as a tool that articulates and drives innovation, integrating research and strategy in the development of products and services as well.
more recently, I improved my team management skills and creative coordination of projects as creative director at in - consultoria de marcas, working with articulation and integration between different disciplines, conducting innovation workshops with international teams and applying agile methodologies in the creation and development of projects.
I am currently an independent consultant and freelancer in the direction and development of the visual expression of brands, looking for solutions that combine design and strategy.
clients I've worked with: ambev, avenue, gloria, cashme, helbor, multi, mistral, grupo pão de açúcar, nestlé, cielo, camargo corrêa, diageo, itaú, grupo globo, grupo boticário, grupo energisa, justos, mendelics, agraria, ambev and natura among others.
