About Me



My journey started in 2003 when I began to study visual arts at Dulcina de Morais Faculty. It gave me a great learning experience while also working as a freelance illustrator for various Brazilian magazines: Marie Claire, Capricho, Super Interessante, among others.

At the same time, I opened an illustration studio (Hachure. inc) with my colleague and friend Raphael Guime. With our fresh portfolio, we visited some advertising agencies showing our work and ideas. We did small projects that landed us the opportunity to meet great Creative Directors who invited us to work in their companies as Art Directors.

In the last five years, I began working as a Product designer and helping clients launch their products.

As a product designer, I enjoy working on projects that involve vision, concept, and strategy alongside developers or clients. I'm also interested in exploring ideas in my personal projects, venturing into art, music, and Code ( such as this site 👨‍💻 ).

I’m open to remote jobs and freelance projects.


It's me, Mário.
