I am a designer who thrives on turning ideas into clean, functional visuals. Despite being deaf, I draw inspiration from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s 'Less is More' philosophy and pursue a motto to Be Original and Don’t be a Copy. I love solving design problems that make me think differently and push the boundaries of what is possible in graphic design and visual communication. Over more than a decade, I have balanced creative work with hands-on client interaction, clinic management, and leadership in design projects. I’ve built strong relationships with clients, led design initiatives for a medical clinic, and enjoyed collaborating across teams to deliver compelling visuals and marketing materials.

    uniE621 Foco Gigante Magazine

    uniE621 Visit Salinas
    This project was inspired by the natural beauty of Salinas and the vibrant atmosphere of Pará. I wanted the visual identity to feel warm, welcoming and full of life — just like the place itself.

    uniE621 Kabaddi California
    For this logo, I embraced the challenge of translating the expansion of Kabaddi into California’s energetic sports culture. My approach was minimalist: clean shapes, bold structure and a modern identity that could stand out in a state where sports visual culture is taken seriously. The goal was simple — give Kabaddi a fresh, contemporary face for a new audience. sportslogo leaguebranding boldcolors dynamicdesign energeticidentity
    uniE621 New Ear
    This logo was born from a simple question: “What color do you associate with hearing?” As someone who knows what it means to regain sound, I wanted to merge sound waves with the shape of an ear to express joy, clarity and rebirth. New Ear became a symbol of hearing as a new beginning. geometriclogo branding futuristic moderndesign
