What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and collaboration, offering opportunities for professional growth and innovation in design.

I am a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience specializing in editorial, brand, corporate, and advertising design. My passion for typography and continuous learning drives my work, allowing me to create compelling visual narratives that resonate with audiences. I have collaborated with numerous companies, providing tailored graphic materials and annual reports that effectively communicate their brand identity.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including freelance graphic designer and digital graphic editor, where I supported corporate communication activities and managed social media content. My experience at I2 Services and Libero Cobre allowed me to refine my skills in content creation and corporate identity management, ensuring that the visual elements align with the strategic goals of the organizations I work with.

I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of working closely with teams to deliver high-quality design solutions. My ability to adapt to new challenges, such as digital marketing, has broadened my skill set and deepened my appreciation for corporate identity. I am committed to delivering exceptional design work that not only meets but exceeds client expectations.
