I’m looking to join a creative and strategic team in the beauty sector, where I can grow professionally while applying my experience in social media, content creation and digital marketing. I value environments that encourage innovation, collaboration and continuous learning, as well as companies that genuinely care about employee well-being and mental health.

Hi, welcome! I'm mostly a Social Media creative! Visit my portfolio: www.marialuizasilva.com
What I'm looking for
I started my digital entrepreneurship journey with Ousai Studio (IG: @ousaistudio) and today, I specialize in creating user-generated content (UGC) with an approach that aesthetically redefines the traditional concept, while preserving the original values of honesty inherent in the initial concept (a niche area in the Portuguese digital market).
Through strategic collaborations, I've had the privilege of producing ads for renowned beauty brands such as Numbuzin, Kaine and Royal Fern, amplifying and consolidating their presence on social media. My dedication to client satisfaction and relentless pursuit of growth have been highlighted by my methodical approach and tireless initiative.
