About

I’m a graphic designer and illustrator passionate about creating bold, meaningful visuals that connect ideas and emotions. My work combines a strong sense of composition, color, and storytelling to craft designs that stand out and communicate with clarity. From branding and editorial layouts to custom illustrations, I focus on delivering visuals that are both functional and visually striking.
With a background as a fine artist, I bring depth, creativity, and an eye for detail to every project—blending traditional artistic techniques with modern design solutions. Whether it’s a digital illustration, print design, or visual identity, I aim to create work that inspires, engages, and leaves a lasting impression.

Book: Maria Reciclona

Maria Reciclona is a children’s picture book in poetic form, entirely written and illustrated by me. Through rhythmic, playful verses, the story introduces Maria, a creative girl who transforms discarded objects into treasures, teaching children about recycling, creativity, and sustainability in an imaginative and joyful way. The illustrations feature a vibrant, expressive style that enhances the poetic flow, bringing warmth and movement to each page. Every visual element—color palette, textures, and composition—was carefully crafted to resonate with young readers and complement the lyrical tone of the text. This project combines poetry and visual storytelling to create an engaging, educational experience that inspires children to see beauty and possibility in everyday materials, encouraging a deeper connection with nature and environmental responsibility.

Logo Design: Camila Wolff Atelier

This branding project was developed for Camila Wolff, a Brazilian clothing designer whose work celebrates femininity, diversity, and elegance. The logo combines clear, curvy lines with a strong, well-defined font, creating a harmonious balance between softness and confidence. A feminine color palette reinforces the brand’s identity, while the minimal yet sophisticated design ensures versatility across various applications—from clothing tags to digital platforms. The result is a timeless, distinctive logo that reflects the essence of the brand: inclusive, stylish, and empowering fashion. graphicdesigner logo illustrator branding designer

Book: Ao pé da Letra - Buschstaben am Fuss

Ao Pé da Letra – Buchstaben am Fuß is a bilingual book project (Portuguese–German) that explores the humor, culture, and creativity hidden within idiomatic expressions. Designed as a playful linguistic bridge, the book transforms everyday expressions into visual narratives through a mix of collage art and minimalistic design, creating a unique reading experience for language learners, families, and culture enthusiasts. This project combines graphic design, illustration, and editorial design to make idioms come alive, offering readers an immersive and entertaining way to understand not just the literal meaning, but the cultural context behind each phrase. The visual style emphasizes clean layouts, strong typography, and witty imagery, reflecting my artistic approach: balancing clarity and expressiveness. Beyond being a book, Ao Pé da Letra is a creative language-learning tool and a cultural connector, designed to spark curiosity and laughter across different audiences. illustrator graphicdesigner designer
