Available to hire
I’m Felipe Vilanova, a multidisciplinary designer and brand strategist with nearly two decades of experience turning ideas into lasting brands. I’ve worked with small and large brands, independently and within advertising and design agencies, which has given me a clear perspective and a strong understanding of what each project needs.
Today I run Vilanova Studio in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where I lead branding and strategy work for clients across packaging, digital interfaces, and environmental design. I’ve collaborated with global brands like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, LVMH, Adidas, and more, combining strategy, design, and hands-on execution to deliver lasting impact.
