Berlin-based, I’m a Brazilian&queer&POC freelance graphic designer practising¹, writing and lecturing².

¹     I'm a designer and researcher who practices and writes. With nine years of experience, I worked in studios and agency designing books, covers, magazines, reports, typography and branding projects. As my life has been on intersectionality, I'm always happy to collaborate on projects around race, gender, sexuality, social class and feminism.

²     On my writing side, spotlighting counter-narratives and constructing them is at the core of my design research interests. As a master’s thesis in the Bauhaus Foundation, I delved deep into the publishing field, its ecosystem and systems of power and oppression. As a result of the process, I wrote a long creative non-fiction essay. On the same year, I was invited as a guest during the annual Bauhaus Study Rooms 2023, where I talked about power, privileges and discrimination within the body – bringing intersectionality (class/race/gender) to the table.
