i provide visual design, editorial and identity for institutions and individuals.

putting my practice to expanding the boundaries of visual argumentation, i set conditions to deconstruct familiar narratives and standard concepts.

with strong strategic skills, i have worked as a very detail-focused designer for clients ranging from institutional to cultural fields. 

previously at tátil (2015–2018) designing branding projects in a multidisciplinary integrated team, at grade (2018–2020) designing editorial and typographic projects and at polar (2020–2022), leading a monthly magazine art direction and designing editorial and identity projects.

currently working as a freelancer and open to collaborations.

com prática nas disciplinas de editorial, identidade, consultoria e pesquisa, em minha prática busco expandir os limites da argumentação visual e desconstruir narrativas familiares.

com forte habilidade estatégica, trabalhei para clientes das áreas corporativa e cultural, como embraer, natura, the union for ethical biotrade, sesc e iphan.

integrei os times da tátil (2015–2018) desenhando projetos de marca e identidade, grade (2018–2020) desenhando editorial e projetos tipográficos e polar (2020–2022), liderando a direção de arte da revista do esporte clube pinheiros (2019–2021) e desenhando editorial e identidade.

atualmente, trabalho de forma independente e colaboro com estúdios e parceiros.
