About
OVERALL
For over 15 years, I've dedicated my career to transforming complex ideas into powerful brand stories that captivate and inspire. With a deep passion for design, strategy, and collaboration, I've had the privilege of leading brand systems that deliver real results for organizations ranging from healthcare networks to venture-backed startups.
/01
WHERE I CAME FROM
Born and raised in Brazil, I grew up in a world of diversity, creativity, and constant change, an experience that shaped me into a versatile and resilient designer. My path hasn't been linear, and that's exactly what makes me effective.
/02
THE BEGINNING
I began my career at Chromos, a school group in Minas Gerais, Brazil, working as a Brand Designer, directing marketing and communications strategy across 11 school units and 500+ staff, managing a $300K annual budget. I led a brand repositioning strategy that strengthened the school's presence in the education market, resulting in 5 new branches across the state, with the marketing guidelines and strategy I developed still in use by the institution today.
/03
EXPANDED MY HORIZONS
That experience shaped my next move. I specialized in design for small businesses through a postgraduate program at UEMG, in Brazil, then co-founded Agência 3Nós, an agency built specifically to serve small and mid-sized businesses often overlooked by larger firms.

As Creative Director, I co-created the agency's brand strategy methodology and led 100+ branding, content, and inbound marketing projects across industries from healthcare and education to fashion and retail tech, for clients across the U.S., Canada, Brazil, and Uruguay, directly responsible for approximately 80% of total business revenue.

One project I'm especially proud of: creating the brand identity and content strategy for "Alice no País das Comidinhas," which earned recognition for Excellence in Branding and Social Media Content at the Belo Horizonte Media Awards.
/04
REBUILDING
In 2020, I relocated to the United States and rebuilt from the ground up, moving through hands-on execution roles before growing back into creative leadership, continuing to lead Agência 3Nós remotely while also directing high-impact campaigns that contributed to a 20% increase in engagement and conversion for major clients. Most recently, I led brand strategy for a major healthcare system, directing visual identity across a 27-hospital network and major service lines. That range gives me a rare vantage point: I understand brand strategy at the leadership level and design execution at the ground level, and I know how to bridge the two.
/05
PROUD OF
At BABCO, I worked alongside a team of designers with backgrounds at companies like Amazon, Instagram, Samsung, Airbnb, Google, and Meta, under the direction of our founder, a former Airbnb designer, building scalable brand systems for venture-backed startups across AI/ML, proptech, and deep tech, including creating the brand identity from the ground up for "Apolitical Day," a flagship global summit for public-sector leaders. My work spans from Silicon Valley tech companies to global healthcare systems.
/05
FUTURE
I'm looking for a long-term opportunity to bring strategic design and creative leadership to an organization building brands that last.

The right tools empower great ideas — but it's strategic thinking, creativity, and execution that turn them into meaningful brand experiences.

Designing at the edge
of what's possible

AI is reshaping creative work. I'm here to explore it thoughtfully and intentionally.
Design has always been about curiosity, about asking better questions, seeing new connections, and finding unexpected directions. As a Senior Brand Designer, I see AI not as a replacement for creative thinking, but as a new kind of collaborator that can expand the early, messy, exploratory parts of the process.

I'm not an "AI expert" (yet) but I'm a designer who stays open to new tools, experiments constantly, and brings critical judgment to every output. My role is to make sure that technology serves the brand, the strategy, and the story, not the other way around.
Curiosity as a practice
I've built my career on staying adaptable. The tools change; the need for clear ideas, strong narratives, and human-centered design doesn't. AI is the latest shift, and I'm approaching it the same way: learn by doing, stay skeptical of hype, and only adopt what actually improves the work.
How AI fits into my workflow
I use AI to move faster in the places where speed matters most—early exploration, concept generation, and iteration. This frees me to spend more time on the strategic and craft decisions that define a great brand: positioning, storytelling, visual systems, and the details that make an experience feel human.
What stays human
AI can generate options, but it can't replace taste, context, or creative direction. Strategy, narrative, and judgment remain central to my process. Every AI output is a starting point, not a finished idea. My job is to shape, refine, and align it with real business goals and human needs.

AI-assisted design applications

Brainstorming & concept exploration
Generating fresh directions and challenging assumptions to find stronger starting points.
/01
Visual directions & moodboards
Rapidly exploring color, typography, and imagery territories before committing to a direction.
/02
Creative variations & iteration
Producing multiple options to pressure-test ideas and stretch thinking beyond the obvious.
/03
Design systems & documentation
Speeding up structure, naming, and consistency so systems stay clear and scalable.
/04
Improving efficiency
Automating repetitive tasks so I can focus on craft, strategy, and storytelling.
/05
Strategy & narrative alignment
Using AI to stress-test positioning and messaging, then refining with real brand insight.
/06

My AI-Powered Creative Workflow

ChatGPT
I use it as a strategic brainstorming partner during the early stages of a project. It helps me expand ideas, challenge assumptions, and explore different perspectives before moving into design, creating a broader creative space where I can identify stronger ideas and refine them through my own design expertise.

Example:
Exploring multiple brand narrative directions for a healthcare campaign, then testing which message feels more human, relevant, and aligned with the audience.
/01
Claude
I recently started experimenting with Claude and have been incorporating it more into my creative workflow, especially for deeper analysis, research synthesis, and organizing complex information.

Its ability to process large amounts of content makes it a valuable partner when working through stakeholder feedback, brand documentation, and creative strategy. I use it to synthesize conversations, structure brand principles, explore messaging directions, and identify opportunities to create more consistent brand experiences.

Example:
Turning stakeholder interviews and project notes into a clear set of brand principles that help guide visual direction, messaging, and campaign development.
/02
Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is part of my visual exploration process. I use it to quickly test creative territories, explore different moods, and build visual references before investing time in final production. It helps me experiment with imagery styles, textures, compositions, lighting approaches, and campaign directions — allowing me to move from abstract ideas to more tangible concepts faster.

Example:
Creating early visual explorations for a healthcare campaign to define the emotional tone and photography direction before developing final creative assets.
/03
Figma AI
Figma is where ideas become structured design solutions. With AI features integrated into the workflow, I use it to speed up repetitive tasks, explore layout options, and communicate ideas more efficiently. AI helps me generate starting points, but the design decisions — hierarchy, storytelling, accessibility, visual language, and brand consistency — remain driven by my experience as a designer.

Example:
Using AI-assisted layout exploration to quickly test landing page structures, then refining the experience through brand strategy, design systems, and user-focused decisions.
/04
Codex
Codex
I work with Codex to turn design decisions into working interfaces: translating visual direction into code, refining responsive layouts, and iterating on real websites. I combine hands-on creative direction with AI-assisted development to connect brand strategy, design systems, and implementation.
/05
Lovable
Lovable
I use Lovable to bring ideas into interactive prototypes and explore digital experiences quickly. I guide the visual language, content hierarchy, and user journeys, then refine the result through a brand and design-system lens.
/06
/ THIS WEBSITE

And of course, this website was also my playground for experimenting with AI workflows and vibe coding.

I couldn’t have created it without putting my AI sidekicks to work.

Tools change.
Thinking doesn't.

The future of creativity isn't about designers being replaced by machines. It's about designers who learn to collaborate with AI to build clearer, resonant, and more impactful brand experiences. I'm excited to keep exploring that future.
