I'm Taina, a Brand Designer based in Brazil with 5+ years of experience building elegant, cohesive visual identities — from brand kits and guidelines to the marketing collateral that brings them to life. I run my own branding studio, working with clients across industries to turn references and feedback into polished, on-brand designs, fast. I'm equally comfortable in Adobe Creative Suite and Canva, and I care about leaving clients with systems they can actually use — clear, well-organized, and easy to update on their own. I'm fluent in English and used to working independently, async, with international clients.
