Brand Designer & Design Lead

About

Brand strategy, made visible.

I'm a Brand Designer and Design Lead with 7+ years of experience across advertising agencies and tech companies. I specialize in translating brand strategy into visual systems that actually work, from identity and campaigns to executive decks and digital touchpoints.

My career spans agencies like W3 Haus, Bonaparte, and Escala, where I worked with brands like O Boticário, Sebrae, Stihl, and Piccadilly, through to leading design at Jusfy, a legaltech scale-up where I helped grow the user base from 13k to 50k+ in under three years. Early in my career, I spent 10 months in New Zealand as a marketing and design intern at a global agri-tech company, an experience that taught me to adapt and communicate across cultures.

I work best where design has a seat at the table. I lead teams, collaborate with growth and performance, and stay hands-on, because the details are where the strategy lives.
