I studied Graphic Design with a focus in Print. I spent 6 years working in the educational field, where I could deepen my experience with printed material designing brochures, and creating visual identities for many classes (along with its associated materials).

I am a print and packaging designer, as well as a problem-solver. I help business owners develop their brand based on their company goals and identity.

I am the product of a grandfather that always encouraged my natural artistic skills mixed with a Graphic Design education, focused on print.

Today, I am combining my 13 years of experience with my passion for traditional and digital art to deliver work that I am proud of.

Specialties: Graphic Design, Packaging Design, Identity Development, Photo Manipulation, Print & Social Media.

Experience:

2014 - Present - Graphic and Packaging designer Freelancer.

Recently, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients. Most notably, I have worked with a Brazilian coffee producer who trusted me to completely redefine the brand, including coffee and tea packagings, paper cups prints, beer, liqueur and cachaça labels, website and collateral.

In addition I have designed labels and visual identities, (including logotypes, stationaries and collaterals)for a handful of Businesses.

2013: I founded Imperio Tech, a startup focused on mobile apps. I created all product's layouts and illustrations.

2009 to 2011: Graphic Designer at Senac Educational.

I worked as graphic designer, illustrator, page designer, lead designer and, eventually, Art director. The company had a self management philosophy, therefore, it was routine for me to take leadership on many projects at once. My production included brochures, books, illustrations, collateral, Newsletter, email marketing, banners, posters and stationary. Leadership often assigned me the projects that would require a high level of creativity, as well as efficiency.

2006 to 2008: Graphic designer at Estacio de Sa University.

I directed photo shots and edited photos for the University's various media and print colateral. On any given day, I could be found designing online interface and page layouts, animating characters and meeting with teachers. The result was always a beautiful, informative, standards-compliant educational material.

2005 to 2006: Graphic Designer at Laborativa Educational.

I was given a unique opportunity to see and participate in projects ranging from identity and large graphic systems to brochures, publications, advertisements, packaging and website.
