• 1.1 Farm | Winter 2008

  “The collector” is a mixing of flowers, textures, colours, passion, styles, histories, and countries. Because collecting is not just keeping similar things. It is to keep things that are similar to you. It’s to remind to ourselves (or the world) who we are.

• 1.2 Farm | Summer 2007

  "The factory" comes from the interdependence – which may sound contradictory - of nature and technology. The raw materials of this fantastic factory are fruits, plants and animals that, after passing through a production line, are transformed into surreal hybrid combinations, such as an apple-butterfly, frog-pineapple, sky of screws or pixelized watermelons. In this place nothing is what it seems, or everything can be what you want it to be.

• 1.3 Farm | Winter 2006

  Look inside and smile! That's the motto of Farm's spring 2006 collection. The inspiration came from Thai tribes, where even living such a simple life, people always seem to be smiling. We tried to make people pay attention to the simple things that make life so magic. For this collection, I worked with both the graphic and the textile design departments. With my team, I created more than a hundred tags for the clothing line, each of them with different texts about the simple and beautiful things in life. I was also in charge of the prints for most of the conceptual line of clothes in the collection.

• 2 Koni | December 2006

  Koni Store is the first chain of fast food restaurants in Rio de Janeiro that only serves temakis – a Japanese speciality made with rice and different fillings wrapped in seaweed in a cone shape. The chain brings together two areas which are apparently impossible to mix: oriental traditions and modernity. Preparing a temaki is like making an origami, a traditional oriental art: you have to transform a 2d matrix into a 3d object. At the same time, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to eat it – so it's sold as fast food. The visual identity was inspired by both this traditional art and urban icons such as traffic signs and cones. In this project I worked with my Brazilian designer friend, Yael Dickstein www.yad.com.br.

• 3.1 Alessa | Summer 2007

  Rio de Janeiro is suffering from a crime wave, which is letting down its citizens. To improve the Carioca’s self esteem, the patterns of the “made in Alessa”collection romanticizes the city’s landmarks. Drawings in pen of chitão flowers- a classical mark of Alessa brand – reveal in an almost a naïve way places like The Statue of Christ, the Lapa Arches and Sugar Loaf Mountain, where the fashion show took place.

• 3.2 Alessa | Winter 2006

  The winter collection called “Love on Offer” was exhibited in a supermarket in Rio de Janeiro to stress how love is a commodity of supreme importance. Hearts were the main theme of the patterns, designed in a psychedelic way.

• 4.1 Pos-Graduation | December 2006

  This project was the continuation of my graduation final project, but now instead of concentrating on Brazil through its flavours, I used its races. It resulted in prints that show history in an abstract way, with all the formats coming from 3 basic forms representing the 3 main groups that have formed the ‘Brazilian’ race (Indians, Portuguese and Africans), passing through metamorphoses and becoming something completely new. The patterns represented beauty, joy, miscegenation, aggregation (and not segregation), tolerance and mood. With the following visual components: mixture (and not unit), multiple-colours, anti-symmetry, bold forms and a variety of pictures.

• 4.2 Graduation | December 2005

  Publishing a good image of Brazil through it’s flavours and gastronomic habits was the intention of the “made in BraSil” project. I applied this concept to an intelligent collection that shows, through patterns and other graphic support, some of the history of Brazil behind traditional dishes. The bags help to tell about this huge country, showing a little bit of the Brazilian culture and making people’s mouth water!
