Designing
brand identities

Identity systems structured for expression and long-term continuity.

​I work with founders and organizations to define identity systems that align voice, structure, and expression across platforms and teams.

Identity is not decoration.
It is a system designed to endure.

What I focus on

Brand Strategy

Clarifying positioning, voice, and narrative direction.

Brand Architecture

Structuring product lines and sub-brands to prevent fragmentation.

Visual Identity Systems

Designing scalable visual systems across logo, typography, color, and components.

Creative Direction

Aligning teams and collaborators around a shared identity system.

I’m usually brought in when...

• Brands grow but feel inconsistent

• Product and identity are disconnected

• Rebrands needs structure, not just aesthetics

• Teams lack shared language

I begin by understanding what the brand is actually doing. Then I shape a system that supports it.

Context

My background in animation, illustration, and storytelling informs how I approach identity — with sensitivity to tone, rhythm, and visual language.

 

I’ve worked across education, culture, startups, and enterprise contexts in Latin America, Europe, Australia, and the U.S., designing identity systems that evolve with their environments.

 

This is where structure meets expression.

Selected Work

Projects where identity became infrastructure.

My Approach

Identity is not decoration.

It is a system of signals.

 

It should express something real.

It should adapt without losing coherence.

 

I design brands that feel alive and remain aligned as they grow.
