What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities that allow me to create impactful designs and collaborate with innovative teams.

I'm a passionate visual designer with four years of experience as a freelancer, primarily working with American content for events. My journey has led me to collaborate with SigmaTools, a Brazilian company specializing in pneumatic tools, where I create impactful designs that align with the company's identity and engage our audience.

Throughout my career, I have designed for various events such as AUTOMEC, EXPOMAFE, DETAILFEST, DETAIL LAND, and SPEEDWAY. My experience also includes working at a print shop, where I honed my skills in creating diverse marketing materials, including flyers, catalogs, and social media visuals. Currently, I work in the marketing department at SigmaTools, where I am responsible for creating graphic and web materials that promote our brand effectively.
