Finding a reliable creative freelancer who can design, develop, and keep projects running smoothly can be a challenge, but that's where I come in. I help businesses and entrepreneurs build (or rebuild) their digital presence through website design and development, graphic design, brand identity design, and UX/UI design while also supporting them with the day-to-day tasks that keep projects on track and clients engaged. My skills lie in creating responsive websites, designing intuitive interfaces and brand-aligned graphics and assets, crafting brand identities, and designing social media content that is both visually striking and strategically effective. Beyond design and development, I bring strong organizational and communication skills, as well as managing content calendars, social media platforms, client communication, and custom WordPress theme development. This allows me to deliver not just polished creative work, but also the operational support that ensures everything flows without a hitch. Over the years, I've collaborated with clients in South Africa, Brazil, Spain, and the United States, including NGOs, design agencies, religious organizations, and independent entrepreneurs on several freelance platforms. My work experience ranges from illustration, graphic design, 3D modelling, front-end development, virtual assistance, social media management and content creation, to video editing and animation (and other related services). My skills have helped clients strengthen their brand visibility and improve engagement across niches and industries. My clients value my ability to combine creativity with reliability, often returning for repeat collaborations. I approach every project with a do-it-together mindset, which means I put a lot of emphasis on client feedback, keeping communication clear and timelines consistent. I work with tools such as Figma, Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Animate, Adobe XD, Blender, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, and Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, etc.). I am also fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Whether you’re starting fresh or updating what you already have, I can help design, develop, and manage the creative solutions your next project needs. Let's chat!
