Design with purpose, seen through multiple cultural lenses.
Good design doesn't explain itself. It holds its ground because every decision in it had a reason.
That's the standard I've worked to for over ten years, across brand identity, art direction, print, digital, and campaigns. I've collaborated with international studios and independent clients, on projects for global brands and local institutions.
I'm Brazilian and Italian, based in Europe, with strong ties to the UK and ongoing relationships across Africa, Middle East and Australia. That breadth of cultural exposure shapes how I work - I understand visual languages across markets and can adapt without losing my own perspective. I read every brief through multiple lenses, and that usually leads to sharper, more culturally intelligent decisions.
I believe great design exists to solve human problems - to connect people, enable honest dialogue, or make the everyday feel intentional. Every project I take on is guided by this: design should create positive impact. I work best with studios that have strong creative direction and value thinking as much as craft.
I come from a loud, warm, chaotic family where there's always food, music, and strong opinions around the table - and that probably explains why I feel completely at home working across countries, cultures, and ways of thinking. I'm curious, determined, and genuinely interested in understanding the people behind every project. When I'm not designing, you'll find me travelling, in a museum, or somewhere between a plate of polenta, a Brazilian barbecue with chimarrão, or a bowl of dumplings. I can go from bossa nova to heavy metal in the same afternoon, and that flexibility, that comfort with contrasts, is exactly how I approach design.
