Profile
In the past 10 years as a Graphic Designer and Creative Art Director, I specialize in delivering versatile design solutions that align with brand growth and business success. My career has taken me across different sectors — B2C, B2B, and SaaS — with a strong focus on the Technology industry over the last 5 years. I have thrived in various roles, from leading design teams to collaborating across departments in fast-paced environments.
With a Graphic Design degree and universities in the US and Brazil on my CV, I also hold certifications in UX Design and English proficiency. With the ability to communicate also in Portuguese, French and Spanish, I bring a culturally rich perspective to my work. My hands-on approach goes beyond design — I have skills in content production, copywriting, paid media, and audiovisual, allowing me to deliver end-to-end creative solutions.
