Hometown: São Paulo, SP - Brazil How does it feel to be a professional designer: It feels like I've accomplished something. It wasn't easy for me to get where I am today. And I still strive to be somewhere greater. How do you like your job: I love it. I work with a team of people that really support me and respect my opinion. We all participate on the creative process where everyone has a chance to express their opinions and collaborate. How did you get this job: I applied online. I had posted my resume on a job searching blog a couple of months before. I was asked to come in for an interview. It went pretty well. It was more of a conversation where I talked a lot more about myself, personal experiences, and goals in life rather than actually my experience or portfolio. I heard from them later that that's what set me apart from the other people they had interview. What was the most exciting project you've worked on since graduation: I just recently worked on a campaign for Danone's trainees program where I had the chance to direct the photo shoot and work on the overall concept of the pieces. It was a series of postcards, online banners, and a poster. The whole process was great and seeing the final product was really gratifying. What were some of the most important things you learned while at Parkland: I learned to be humble and appreciate the opportunities I have. Parkland introduced me to a world which I now feel I'm part of. Who is your favorite designer and why: Hans Donner. I grew up watching his creations on TV and I believe that gave me a sense of what design was as a kid. What is your favorite typeface and why: I really like The Mix. It's solid and fun at the same time. About my experience in Brazil: I found out about different ways of networking. Everything is a lot more casual and fun here. We work with the clients a lot closer and feel free to openly express ideas. The style goes from classic and formal to the most outrageous. And what I like the best, inspiration is everywhere.
