My work in Val Marché
Brand Designer
freelance work
2019—2020
L’Épicerie Imperiale and Val Marché are closely related brands created a year apart. Although each market has its own name and identity, they were designed to share the same visual foundation, reflecting their common values while giving each business its own recognizable presence. The project began with the creation of L’Épicerie Imperiale. About a year later, it naturally grew into a second project, designing Val Marché, a new brand built on the same visual foundations while establishing its own identity.
L’Épicerie Imperiale
L’Épicerie Imperiale was a family-owned neighborhood market in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, focused on carefully selected products and a welcoming shopping experience. I designed its complete visual identity, including the logo, color palette, typography, and supporting materials.

The identity was designed to feel approachable, combining a contemporary slab-serif typeface with the basket icon that became the brand’s most recognizable element. Every application reinforced the market’s friendly personality and attention to quality.
Val Marché
About a year later, I was invited to design the identity for Val Marché, a new specialty market opened by one of L’Épicerie’s owners in partnership with friends.

Rather than creating a completely different brand, the objective was to build on the recognition of the original identity. The new logo retained the same typographic foundation and basket illustration while introducing subtle changes that gave Val Marché its own personality, creating two distinct brands connected by a shared visual language.
The project extended beyond the visual identities into a range of branded materials developed for both markets. I designed packaging, labels, shopping bags, stationery, and other customer-facing applications. These designs tied everything together, making sure the brand was instantly recognizable in-store and at home.

My work in DeepHow
lead brand designer
remote work
2020—2025
The beginning
I joined DeepHow in 2020 at an early stage, when the company had around 10 employees and no formal design or marketing team, and stayed until mid-2025. During that time, I worked as the sole brand and marketing designer, supporting company-wide design needs.
Over time, DeepHow grew to over 100 employees and into an AI-powered platform used by industrial and frontline teams to capture and share operational knowledge. The product turns expert processes into video-based instructions that can be searched and used on the job, supporting tasks like onboarding, work verification, and day-to-day guidance.


Starting as a Lead Brand Designer
As Lead Brand Designer, I was responsible for shaping DeepHow’s look, feel, and communication across every touchpoint. My work connected marketing and product through a consistent visual language that evolved alongside the company’s growth.

I created brand assets for presentations, conferences, social campaigns, and product launches, keeping the visual identity consistent across all materials. I also worked closely with marketing and product teams to keep things aligned and improve the overall quality of the work. One of my key contributions was improving the marketing design workflow, making it faster, more organized, and easier to scale.
This shift came with more creative ownership over time. Early on, most work depended on executive approvals, which slowed things down and made the process more reactive. As I gained trust, I took full ownership of the brand and marketing design workflow, defining timelines, organizing feedback, and planning deliverables more intentionally. This made the process smoother overall and allowed me to focus more on concept and structure before jumping into execution, resulting in more consistent and timely delivery.

During my time there, I worked on the website redesign twice, each version reflecting a different stage in the company’s journey. The first redesign marked DeepHow’s transition into a professional, enterprise-ready presence. The second, years later, embodied a more confident and unified brand expression, refined through collaboration with a larger team. Below is the 2025 homepage version.
Partnering with the Product Team
In the early stages, my collaboration with the product team began with smaller contributions, such as designing icons to represent each platform feature before the UI was redesigned. I also created empty-state and onboarding illustrations for the product to provide clearer guidance and enhance the platform's visual experience.

Project 4
The most significant collaboration with the product team came later through the redesign of DeepHow’s embedded video player on the website. The original version was a direct embed of the platform player, not fully optimized for a public, non-logged-in experience. Instead of making a minimal adaptation, we rebuilt the player from the ground up, designing a version specifically for website users without DeepHow accounts.

Working closely with product and engineering, I redesigned the full UI/UX of this experience and created the custom video cover cards that now introduce the content before playback. The leadership team responded so strongly to these cards that they later requested the product team to bring the same visual approach into the platform itself.

Designing within DeepHow
Designing at DeepHow meant navigating constant change. In the early days, the company lacked a clear visual foundation, with no consistent structure, reusable patterns, or brand cohesion. Every project felt like starting from scratch. There was rarely time to pause for a complete rebrand, so evolution happened gradually, piece by piece, through persistence and small wins.

Each new asset was a chance to refine the visual identity. Over time, these small updates added up and shaped DeepHow’s current brand style. I also kept learning along the way, improving my skills in Figma and Webflow and getting better at communicating and collaborating with teams.

The challenges
When I joined, DeepHow had an early-stage brand identity in place. As the company grew, it became clear that the visual system needed to evolve. The visual language was limited, with a restrained color palette and few supporting assets, which made it harder to scale across different formats. With these constraints, I focused on gradually building a more flexible and scalable design system.
The solutions
The challenges at DeepHow were not solved in a single project. They evolved over years of minor, intentional refinements, turning every campaign, presentation, and landing page into an opportunity to test and improve. Gradually, I introduced subtle but consistent updates such as richer mockups, custom illustrations, and a stronger visual narrative that connected the brand’s technical core with its human purpose. Over time, these decisions added up to a design language that felt more cohesive, mature, and aligned with the product’s sophistication.

One of the most important shifts was moving toward a more product-focused approach. The design started to rely on product UI and custom mockups to show how DeepHow actually works, replacing generic stock imagery.

Impact and results
The 2025 website redesign reshaped how DeepHow was perceived, both internally and externally. It now reflects the company’s maturity and communicates clearly what once required long explanations.

The redesign enabled our marketing team to extend the new visual direction across every piece of communication, bringing a consistent look and feel that transformed how DeepHow presented itself.
Design contribution
What I learned in the five years I worked on DeepHow is that strong design comes from doing the basics well. Across these projects, I focused on keeping the brand consistent across everything we produced, whether digital or print, internal or external. The goal was to make communication clear, easy to follow, and look good across all touchpoints.
