I am a graphic designer with more than 8 years of professional experience, with a multifaceted background in art direction, web design, print materials, UI/UX design, research, and planning. I have worked with various clients such as Spcine, Boticário, Dental Clean from Brazil, and a store called Nude, where I conceived the brand design, starting with the naming, logo, slogan, artistic direction, arts for Instagram, e-commerce website, e-mail marketing and other printed material. The areas of design that I like the most are: creation of visual identity, typography and editorial, design thinking and user experience, planning and research. I like to get involved in challenging projects that have an artistic vein and social responsibility.

2º Forum Spcine
Tanto Produções Cinematográficas
Art Director
I developed the entire visual identity of the second edition of the forum, including logo creation, color study, graphic elements, gradient backgrounds, as well as materials such as banners, facades, panels, badges, Instagram artwork, website artwork, and email designs, among others. For the logo creation, the concept of the essence of dialogue, conversation, and speech was emphasized, incorporating the element that represents a quotation mark ('). This simple yet powerful symbol acted as a visual representation of the dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives that are at the core of the Forum Spcine event.

EDUCATION
FBAUP Faculdade de Belas Artes do Porto Master's in Fine Arts and Intermedia
2019 - Currently Porto, Portugal
In my work in intermedia, I explore the intersections and crossroads between various art forms, such as assemblage, video performance, installation, projection, and more. Through these mediums, I strive to create a dynamic and immersive artistic experience that challenges traditional boundaries and engages the audience in a multi-sensory exploration. By combining different elements and techniques, I aim to provoke thought, evoke emotions, and encourage a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human experience. My artistic practice in intermedia allows me to break free from conventional artistic categorizations and explore the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.
