that's how i see design it's not about memorizing shortcuts or mastering every tool - it's about listening, observing, and translating what you want to say.

i've always been like this: curious, paying attention to what's behind the words. and it's from this place that i create. because in the end, design is that - telling your story the right way. \n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tfor me, design isn't just about mastering tools or following trends it's about translating what you want to say in a way that makes sense to you and to those who find you every detail matters when the intention is clear. \n

my approach always starts with dialogue \u2013 because no one understands your vision better than you. i just help give it shape. \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

about me<\/strong>
i\u2019m a 19-year-old designer who lives between code and the invisible. for me, design goes beyond aesthetics or tools \u2014 it\u2019s about listening closely, feeling what hasn\u2019t been said yet, and turning that into something that connects. <\/p>

education and experience<\/strong>
undergraduate in design at ufu: here, i deepen my critical and creative perspective, exploring aesthetics, function, and meaning with greater intentionality.<\/p>

freelancer since march 2024: i work with visual identity, responsive websites, automations with n8n, and ai integrations. each project is an exchange: i offer technique and vision, and receive trust to create something authentic.<\/p>

web designer at winbound marketing: experience that allowed me to unite the technical and creative sides in website development, focusing on digital strategy and results.<\/p>

vision<\/strong>
i believe design is about essence. every project is a chance to reveal something that already exists within the person or the brand \u2014 just waiting to be carefully translated. more than delivering, i want to understand.<\/em> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tphotography has always been a way to see beyond the obvious. before understanding techniques, i needed to capture feelings \u2013 that moment that says more than a thousand words. this visual sensitivity has helped me create more authentic narratives in each project. \n

I joined IFTM in computer science. Although programming subjects were already easy for me, the big turning point was when I was introduced to web development. I started exploring beautiful and interactive visuals, and I always ended up being the one responsible for web design in group projects <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

in an entrepreneurship project, I created a logo that sparked my true interest in design. in my senior year, I decided to create an annual project about design, seeking a company to develop a visual identity. I was amazed when “the donut woman,” my first client (C\u00edntia Vieira), accepted my proposal and loved the results. that’s when I realized: even without being a natural artist on paper, the essence lies in listening <\/strong>and translating what the client truly wants <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I finished high school being accepted into computer science at UFU \u2013 but I chose to create more than just technical things. I was accepted again into UFU, this time for design, with classes starting on June 9, 2025. At the same time, I started working at Winbound Marketing as a web designer, finally putting into practice the idea of creating things that attract and are pleasant for people <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
