Rafael's Story
I am a 37-year-old Brazilian designer living in Brasília, the capital of Brazil. My career journey is rooted in a deep understanding of visual communication and user experience. Leveraging a technical background in Computer Science, I transitioned into Graphic Design, focusing on how people interact with digital products. This combination allows me to bridge the gap between aesthetic and functional design.
