about me
What I do
I design brand identities for studios, founders, and companies in spaces where aesthetics and trust matter. Interior design, architecture, fashion, wellness. The kind of work where how you look is part of what you're selling.
My background
I'm originally from São Paulo, Brazil and now based in Berlin. Over 6 years I've worked with brands at different stages: early launches, full rebrands, and everything in between. Beautibe, a women's wellness and nutrition brand, came to me for a rebrand and left with an identity that finally matched the quality of what they were selling. Dama Floare built their brand from scratch and scaled. Virsari finally had a visual language that helped their products sell. Different industries, same goal: make the brand work harder for the business.
Beyond client work, I've always been drawn to painting, photography, and architecture.
That eye for composition, light, and structure is what I bring into every brand I build.
My approach
I ask a lot of questions before I start any design. What a brand stands for and who it's talking to shapes everything that comes after. The visual part is the last step, not the first. That's why the work tends to feel intentional rather than generic.
