Hi, I am 
Gabriela.

I'm a Senior Art Director currently
at GUT, based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I'm passionate about graphic arts and communication. I've earned the esteemed title among Brazil's  30 Under 30 Talents, as recognized by our nation's most prestigious ad portal.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with renowned brands such as Netflix, AB-Inbev (Ambev), Miami AD School, Natura, Google, and Spotify, infusing each project with creativity and innovation.

Choosing art direction as my medium, I've seamlessly integrated art into both my daily life and professional journey. However, for me, design is more than just a career—it's a profound expression of my commitment to fostering meaningful communication and embracing diversity. With every project, I strive to amplify voices, challenge perspectives, and craft narratives that resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.
