I bring brands into everyday life, from Deusa’s packaging, designed at Bangboo, to Doraiza’s travel materials. I’m a senior visual designer with 9+ years in agencies and in-house teams. My work runs from identity to campaigns, with motion and AI video along the way.
A food brand with over 80 years of history · Project at Bangboo
Eight identities from my independent practice. I developed each one from the initial brief to its applications.
Doraiza Expeditions is the international brand of travel creator Izadora Moraes, whose verified Instagram profile has around 180,000 followers. The brand is built to bring international travelers to Brazil. I designed its identity through Manto Studio, building the D-shaped symbol from waves and mountains.
A DJ school with the warmth of a friend’s house. I adjusted the letters by hand, then used the same forms to draw a symbol that hints at a home. Terracotta brings the warmth into the palette.
A barbershop built around the person in the chair. Deep wine red and heavy type bring the confidence, and the open space around them keeps it calm. I wanted the identity to have presence without raising its voice.
For a lawyer with Lebanese roots, I built the name like a piece of architecture. Repeating vertical modules recall classical columns and give the lettering a firm footing. Deep blue and gold give it the formality of a legal signature.
Vicentini builds his tracks layer by layer. I brought that sense of structure and movement into a solid monogram, where sharp cuts open into curves like a sound wave. Heavy type keeps the beat.
Felipe turns sports science into advice endurance athletes can use. I gave that clarity a visual rhythm: geometric type sets the pace, while a quiet palette leaves room to focus.
A smile changes the way someone walks into a room. For Astra, I drew a star that hides a tooth: you see the shine first and the dental reference a moment later, like a good result that doesn’t need to announce itself.
Made with care, served with love. Poiate’s line is an invitation before the first bite. I took the identity from the storefront to the packaging, carrying the name wherever the food goes.
I was one of two designers responsible for Leve’s visual materials, including the complete onboarding kit.
Projects from the last nine years. The brief, the design decisions and what I delivered.
Maxima’s partners were applying the brand differently. I brought rules, assets and font downloads into its first interactive brand guide. Around 20 people used it, and materials became more consistent.
MaximaAt Bangboo, I evolved Fibercom’s Wi-Fi 6 campaign visual and created the Wi-Fi 7 launch key visual. The Wi-Fi 6 campaign lifted average transaction value by 43% and profit margin by 18%.
BangbooDeusa’s farofa packs had little shelf presence. At Bangboo, I redesigned seven packs across the Deusa and Monjolinho brands, using flavor-specific colors and imagery.
BangbooAt Fabrika, Em Casa Tem’s packaging redesign covered more than 50 products. I worked across the range while leading brand and campaign projects for eight accounts.
FabrikaLeve needed to explain financial products to people outside finance. I translated the information into presentations and HubSpot emails. I also applied the company’s identity to its complete print and digital onboarding kit.
LeveFor my independent TikTok Shop project, I needed to turn product images into short videos. I built a workflow that generates scripts and captions with Gemini, then produces vertical video.
IndependentTrinca needed visual materials across the company, with me as its sole visual designer. Working remotely, I applied the brand to internal communications and employer branding. I delivered presentations and materials for events and onboarding.
TrincaFor Natural One, a retail franchise in Paraná, I used Google Flow to generate images of New Balance sneakers for the store's social posts.
At Maxima, I used Higgsfield to generate images and video. My work included AI-assisted motion pieces for the interactive brand guide.
TikTok Shop videos
I create TikTok Shop videos with Gemini Omni Flash, using AI-generated characters with a consistent appearance.
I built the admin panels and automation for an independent TikTok Shop project. The system takes a product photo through to a finished vertical video with a script and caption.
I upload the product photo and TikTok Shop link, along with notes for Gemini.
Gemini generates the script and caption from the product details.
Veo generates the vertical video.
The system tracks generation jobs and retries failed requests.
The final panel groups finished videos by day. I can download the video and copy its caption and product details for posting.
I made product videos for Star Point, a surf shop in Maringá, featuring brands such as Hurley, Volcom, Approve and The Saint.
I produced around 200 designs per month, plus adaptations, for Maxima’s digital channels.
I produced around 200 designs per month and built Maxima’s first interactive brand guide in HTML, including brand sound. Around 20 people used it.
I developed brand identities and icon sets at Dzigna, alongside storyboards and AI-assisted mockups.
I designed for 10 accounts at Bangboo, including simultaneous seasonal campaigns. I reviewed and approved final work and mentored two junior designers.
As the only visual designer, I created materials for internal communications, employer branding, events and onboarding.
I was one of two designers at Leve, a fintech with around 80 employees. I created the complete print and digital onboarding kit, plus presentations and HubSpot emails.
I led branding and campaigns for eight accounts at once and redesigned the packaging for 50+ Em Casa Tem products.
I designed e-commerce and social media content, with work in product photography and retouching. At Ui! Gafas, I was the only designer and also produced email content and motion graphics.
Through Manto Studio, I’ve created 30+ visual identities from scratch. I handle the client relationship and every stage of the design work, from the brief to final delivery.

I was one of two designers responsible for Leve’s visual materials. I designed the complete onboarding kit in digital and print formats.
Leve (acquired by Neon) offered payroll-deducted loans and had around 80 employees. The onboarding kit brought the company’s identity and values into materials for employees.
I applied the illustrated company values to the onboarding kit and repeated the identity’s pattern across the pieces. I carried those elements into both print and digital materials, keeping the kit connected visually.
The kit includes tote bags, shirts and notebooks, with bottles, posters and digital materials completing the set.
At Bangboo, I redesigned seven farofa packs: four 200g Deusa pouches, two 400g Deusa packs and one 400g pack for Monjolinho, Deusa Alimentos’ second brand.
The old packaging had little presence on the shelf next to competing products. The main competitor was Yoki's Caseiríssima line.
The four stand-up pouches keep the product upright on the shelf. Colors and food imagery distinguish the flavors across the Deusa range.
The before-and-after comparison shows the three 400g redesigns. The system panel brings the six Deusa packs together.
I produced around 200 designs per month, plus adaptations, for Maxima’s digital channels.
There was no brand guide, and partners were applying the brand differently.
I built an interactive brand guide in HTML with 11 numbered sections and a checklist. It combines visual rules, brand sound and betting-advertising rules, with font downloads and examples of prohibited uses.
The guide reached around 20 users, including partners and the internal team. Materials became more consistent, with the correct brand fonts.
I developed Doraiza Expeditions’ identity through Manto Studio, from the brief to the final files. Doraiza Expeditions is the international brand of travel creator Izadora Moraes, whose verified Instagram profile has around 180,000 followers. The brand is built to bring international travelers to Brazil.
The identity needed to work across a website and app, campaign materials and travel items.
I built the symbol around the letter D, with waves and mountains in its curves. A yellow sun sits on the horizon, and a bird appears in the negative space.
The wordmark uses Kommon Grotesk Extended, with spaced lettering for EXPEDITIONS. The palette combines green tones with warm ivory and yellow.
The identity and its applications, including a billboard and social posts, a website and app, and items such as caps and bottles.
Casa Groove was conceived as a place to learn electronic music and meet people in Maringá. I wanted the identity to feel like an invitation to join in, with room for each person to find their own sound.
The name gave me the idea: casa means home. I adjusted the wordmark’s proportions and spacing by hand, then drew a symbol from that same structure. The house is suggested in the letterforms.
The main typeface and its monospaced companion create a change of rhythm, connecting music with the digital tools around it. Terracotta and other earthy colors give the identity the warmth of somewhere you’d want to stay.
I designed the identity to hold together across physical and digital materials as the school explores new formats. Since opening, Casa Groove has had 50+ graduates.
The barbershop’s approach begins with understanding how each client sees themselves and wants to look. I took that attention to the individual as the starting point for the identity.
The ambition is to build a cultural space, with plans for education, content and products. I kept the communication direct and conversational, close to the one-to-one attention at the heart of the service.
I chose a deep wine red for its maturity and warmth. It gives the identity a strong presence without an aggressive edge.
The type has weight, so I gave it space. Heavy letterforms establish the structure; the open areas around them let that strength settle into something calm.
Naim El Gharib’s practice carries Lebanese roots and a sense of continuity. I made the name the center of the identity, treating the lettering as something that could stand on its own.
I built the letterforms from repeating vertical modules, with classical columns as a reference. Their repetition gives the name a measured rhythm, like moving past the supports of a building.
Alignment and proportion do the quiet work here. I kept the composition restrained so the structure of the letters could carry the authority of the practice.
Deep blue and gold give the lettering its formal character. The symbol also works as a seal, turning the name into a signature across the practice’s materials.
Vicentini’s tracks unfold in layers, shaped by repeated adjustments. I took that relationship between control and feeling as the basis for the identity.
I drew a solid monogram with sharp cuts that continue into curves. The eye moves between those edges and flowing lines, following a rhythm that refers back to sound.
Heavy typography gives the composition a steady base. Against it, the monogram’s curves feel freer, much like movement held within the structure of a track.
I kept the communication clear and spare, in keeping with his patient approach to making music. The expression sits in the contrast between the mark’s rigid structure and its flowing lines.
Felipe works with endurance athletes, connecting sports science with the demands of the sport. I wanted the identity to make that knowledge feel approachable and useful.
His positioning combines technical knowledge with simple, practical guidance. I carried that into the design by keeping the visual language restrained, leaving the information room to speak.
Geometric sans-serif type gives the identity a clear structure. The shapes bring an orderly rhythm to the lettering, fitting a practice grounded in technical knowledge.
I kept the palette neutral so color wouldn’t add unnecessary noise. Together with the typography, it gives Felipe a consistent visual language to accompany his work with athletes.
Astra’s starting point was the way a smile can change how someone feels and is seen. I wanted to give that change a visual form with the lightness of a small glow.
I combined a star with an implied dental shape. The star catches the eye first; the dental reference arrives a moment later, giving the symbol something to discover.
Precise construction gives the symbol its structure. I softened it with flowing contours to bring the care behind aesthetic dentistry into the drawing.
I kept the language direct and considerate, matching the restraint in the symbol. The identity suggests transformation through small visual cues, leaving space for the viewer to make the connection.
Poiate Salgados is a savory snack brand associated with Iza Poiate Confeitaria. I developed its identity through Manto Studio, taking the name into the shop and onto the packaging.
‘Feito com cuidado, servido com amor’ translates as ‘Made with care, served with love.’ It puts the feeling of being served something with care into a simple line.
I applied the identity to boxes, paper packaging and takeaway bags. The packaging gives the brand a place in that moment before the food is unwrapped.
The identity also appears on the storefront and aprons. The name greets people outside and stays present where the food is served.
