Profile
I am a very creative, organized and branding focused graphic designer with an educational background in design and philosophy. In the last 11 years, I have worked in a diverse scope of companies, ranging from small studios to a government multimedia producer, an advertising company, a major newspaper, and also as a freelancer.
I usually pursue simple and conceptual design solutions, and that is the reason why I am passionate about brand identity: each shape and font choice communicates substantially. I enjoy discussing and defining brand strategies, thinking and researching before sketching and comparing the personality of designs. Finding the most suitable concepts and translating them to a simple and memorable logotype is the challenge. That is what I love. I also appreciate working on collateral design, aligning the style of the projects to the brand platform, as well as taking part in discussions about naming, advertising, medias and products.
Currently I am looking for a position in Toronto, Canada.
