WORK






1. O espaço que ainda falta para caber
2025+ Poster Design

    As part of the Correspondência Gráfica course by Studio Anna’s, I created posters for São Paulo’s Bienal. The project encouraged us to work from a name chosen in group exercises, experimenting with typography, composition, and the idea of graphic correspondence. The map of Ibirapuera Park served as my starting point, a metaphor for the Bienal’s physical space. I used its shapes to build the poster, creating a composition where the elements appear to fight for room. This sense of struggle was intentional, reflecting how absence and conflict of space can generate a dynamic visual tension.



    2. Website Design & Development for Tattoo Artist Freelance Project
    2025    + UI/UX design
    + Brand adaptation
    + Squarespace

    The client wanted a website to showcase their tattoo portfolio, attract new clients, and sell his products. The challenge was balancing their unique visual style with a clear and functional navigation.

    3. Upside Down Gallery
    2024    + Branding
    + Brand Strategy
    + Visual Identity

    Upside Down Gallery aims to repurpose the currently abandoned North Woolwich Railway Station’s bulding as a creative gallery that promotes community and celebrates the area and its culture, which are shaped by its immigrant population. For that reason, the gallery proposes breaking the standard by centering its collection on diasporic artists.




    4. Skreppa Bakery
    2024    + Branding
    + Visual Identity

    Skreppa is a bakery dedicated to keeping Icelandic traditions alive. They specialise inHverbrauð, a local delicacy in Iceland that dates back to the settlement period, and is believed to have developed due to the lack of firewood and fuel resources. It involves placing rye dough in a covered container, burying it in hot geothermal soil near hot springs, and letting it bake slowly for up to 24 hours. The result is a dense, sweet, and slightly caramelized bread. 




    5. The Age of Earthquakes
    2023    + Print
    + Poster Design

      The Age of Earthquakes is a three-layered poster inspired by the book of the same name by Shumon Basar, Douglas Coupland and Hans Ulrich Obrist. The book is an experimental exploration of the rapid change the world has undergone in the past years and is set to undergo in the next years due to the advancement of technology. To convey its message in a poster, a quote from the book was used in constrast with a variety of analog techniques.





      6. The First Shaman
      2024      + Activism
      + Web Design
      + Motion

      The First Shaman is a narrative-based website that introduces the Yanomami society and culture through their own perspective to an English Speaking public. Rather than just denouncing the widespread damage the West’s exploitation of the Amazon forest has caused to their people, the digital narrative offers an opportunity for the audience to immerse themselves in the otherness of Yanomami cosmology.
