While designing Cosmos website, I realized we were using some very boring icons in a section, then I decided to explore something more appealing.
In the end, I created 3 illustrations to represent some aspects of the software. I liked it very much and the page looks way better with them!

I just got obsessed about creating my entire travel itinerary in a pretty and easy to use way.
I wanted it to be perfect, so I created the visual guidelines, choose the colors, created grids, styles.
I really got proud of it, but, in the end, I just finished the guide in a Notion page
Early 2022
At Alura we had some challenges to make students practice more the content they learned.
By that time, I saw some courses having this photo we could share in social media to show we were studying with them, so I thought about doing the same thing for Alura.
It was more of a experimental thing. In the end, we gave students access to the file so they could upload their photo and download the badge, but there wasn't many people using it 😅
From 2013 to 2020
Creating profile covers for Facebook and Twitter - Here I "became" a designer 👀
I would say my career as a Designer started very early, when I was only a child passionate about photoshop and famous artists.
I entered in a community where all those teens create pieces for facebook covers and posts, and I started doing the same. First, the designs were made in PhotoScape, later, I could finally download Photoshop.
Most of the pieces are super ugly, but I had a good time doing them 😄
