Let's dive into what I'm all about.

Hey, I'm Thiago

(Tee-AH-goo)
Designer living in Florianópolis, Brazil,
running design at CasinoGrounds, part of LeoVegas / MGM Resorts.
I love solving messy problems and turning them into something people actually want to use. Whether it's a brand that needs personality or an experience that's confusing users, I dig into the why before jumping to the how. Been doing this for 15 years across Brazil, Europe, and beyond, serving clients worldwide.

About

Cross-disciplinary Brand & Experience Designer who transforms complex challenges into cohesive brand experiences that drive results and forge lasting connections with audiences. Based in Florianópolis, Brazil, serving clients across the globe.

The Journey So Far

Over 15 years of crafting digital experiences across three continents—from co-founding a brand consultancy in Campinas, Brazil to leading design strategy at a global gaming company. My journey spans the full spectrum of design, from hands-on execution to strategic leadership, always focused on creating work that moves both hearts and metrics.

My Approach

Great design starts with great strategy. I believe in building brands from the inside out—understanding what makes a company unique, then translating that into cohesive experiences across every touchpoint. Whether it's crafting a brand identity or designing a user interface, every decision should ladder back to the brand story and business goals.

Beyond Design

Strong brands need strong systems. Beyond individual projects, I focus on building brand ecosystems that scale—design systems that maintain consistency, brand guidelines that empower teams, and strategic frameworks that ensure every touchpoint reinforces the brand promise.
