ABOUT

Specialist in visual communication for over twenty-five years, my experience as a Graphic Designer and Art Director has developed across diverse fields, including: print publications (newspapers, magazines, corporate reports and books), advertising campaigns, product launches, digital design (social media), logo design and brand identity.

I have worked internationally for decades, in places such as São Paulo, New York, London and Milan. During my time in New York, I got the O-1 Visa (extraordinary ability in arts) while collaborating with a leading advertising agency, music record label and design studio.

In recent years, I have worked independently on the most complex layout solutions in the visual communication sector, consistently applying creativity and self- judgment based on my expertise leading communication components in conservation and development projects by evolving the client’s brief and assessing the quality of outputs before delivery or during implementation phases. Carrying out my skills, I am passionate about successfully aligning project goals with visual identities.
