Redesigning Hago Zorg
Welcome to my website. Here you will find some jobs I have worked on and how I conceive design practices in different fields. Be my guest!
I am displaying here jobs of different categories mixed up with design tools I often use.
You may also find some images within the projects that highlight the design process I have carried out.
It is hard to describe what we are but Bergman once said some words I believe in:
"We define ourselves by the choices we made. We are in fact the sum of our choices.” Yes... the sum of our choices!
During my Bachelor Degree in Media & Communication at PUC-MG, Brazil, I worked as art director for the university TV channel creating promos and TV spots. After the graduation I set up (along with co-workers) a design bureau, Estudio Sabotage, to explore and experience interaction between different media such as video, photography, print, web and motion design. Afterwards, I moved to São Paulo where I lived for three years working at a renowned commercial film production as director’s assistant and post-production supervisor.
In 2007, I applied to a Master Degree in Visual Communication & Multimedia at IUAV University of Venice, Italy. There, I had opportunity to deepen into typography and interaction design tools and practices what proved to become new passions. At that time, I actively carried on working with type, video, graphic design and new media. Some of these activities granted me awards and scholarship. In 2010, I concluded my master with a thesis on type design and in the same year I had a video exhibited in the Biennale Architecture of Venice.
Currently, I live in Amsterdam where I recently worked as user interface and visual designer at Somehow, a studio that mainly does service design as primary work which includes mobile (Android and iPhone) and back-end websites. Among some projects I participated I should remark Hago Zorg and Schiphol Parking Airport apps.
I am a very curious person and this led me to theories and practices of different languages of visual communication and interactive devices. I consider myself a multidisciplinary designer focused on user interfaces, user experience and usability theories. Additionally, my career path is also related to typography, type, branding, commercials, video production and motion design.
Working in several design fields allowed me to improve the method I conceive visual design. Analytical approach towards the brief, ideal of strategy and strengthen concepts are starting points to me. I am extremely meticulous and have a picky eye for detail which provides me abilities to deliver pixel perfect projects.

I love paper prototypes but I like them more when I confirm my wireframes are working smoothly. Mobile prototypes can be very easy to produce with some interesting apps like POP and fieldtestapp. The first one is desktop based with lots of features, gestures options, transitions and different mobile screen sizes. The second one, which […]
There is a post I read few months back written by Andrea Markdalen on design mind that got my attention. The author brings up design cases in which a calculated error is forecast and produced in order to adapt the final result to the specific medium where it must be used. To give you an […]
Hello. This is the first post for the blog I’ve just decided to create. Actually, I will consider this more a personal design thinking diary than a blog. What I mean is that I have no commitment to keep this for an audience. Instead this space will be used to push me scribble down design […]
