I’m not a particularly mystical person, but sometimes that world crosses my path. Not long ago, I had the opportunity to take a Design class where we were challenged to create our own version of a Major Arcana Tarot card, choosing both the card and a design style to represent it. The Sun has always held a significant place in my life—not just as a concept, but as a tangible physical presence—so the choice was easy. From there, I had no doubt about choosing Art Deco as the primary style, as it evokes the same feeling in me that the Sun does: absolute passion. My final design was built from an illustration created in Illustrator and refined in AI: a stained-glass window that captures the light passing through it and radiates it back out into the world.

[part 2] Old but Gold Project I published part of this series last week and feel I need to share a bit more of it. It’s a project where I decided to create unique hand-lettered designs for my favorite types of wine. After sketching them, I vectorized the designs and added illustrations, along with the finishing touch: a painting of grapes created with acrylics on canvas. If you enjoy themes related to drinks, keep an eye out for upcoming posts :) #typography #typedesign #branding

This is an Old But Gold Project :) I enjoy creating work in series. At some point in the past, I decided to create hand-lettered designs for some of my favorite types of wine. I started with simple hand-drawn sketches on paper and later developed them into vector graphics. Then, I created Art Deco-inspired posters for each of them. I also painted the grapes myself, using acrylic paint on canvas. This is one of them, let me know if you’d like to see the others :)

I was walking through

[New Project] I was walking through São Paulo when I spotted a newly opened bar called Cajá. The bar had no logo, no sign, nothing—but it did have one thing: a cheerful bird singing upstairs. That became the primary inspiration for this logo and the project's overall design. As this was a personal project, I had freedom to explore new possibilities, but I also faced the challenge of being my own client and finding myself in a position familiar to designers: never feeling that the work is truly finished.
