I’m Rafael Araújo, a Graphic and Digital Designer with over 10 years of experience working across branding, visual identity, digital products, and creative direction. Throughout my career, I’ve developed and maintained brands, created visual systems and campaigns, designed digital products and interfaces, and developed creative assets for companies across different industries and markets.

My experience ranges from brand development and product design to advertising, e-commerce, social media, and physical and digital experiences. I’ve also worked with companies in the US market over the past few years, which has strengthened my ability to adapt to different brands, audiences, and creative environments. More recently, I’ve incorporated AI into my creative process, particularly for visual development, art direction, characters, and digital brand experiences.

I’m looking for a role where I can combine this multidisciplinary background with a strong focus on brand, design, and creative thinking, contributing from concept and strategy through to the final execution.
