about me
What I do
I design brand identities for studios, founders, and companies in spaces where aesthetics and trust matter. Interior design, architecture, fashion, wellness. The kind of work where how you look is part of what you're selling.
My background
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in Berlin. I carry a little of both cultures with me: warm and expressive on one side, minimal and precise on the other — and that contrast shapes the way I see and work.
Over six years I've worked with brands at different stages, from early launches to full rebrands. My background in drawing and photography shapes how I approach every project — that eye for composition, light, and structure is what I bring into every brand I build.
my process
1. Inquiry & Discovery
You reach out and tell me a bit about what you're working on. I'll review it and, if it feels like a good fit, invite you to a call where we talk through your brand, your goals, and what you need. No commitment at this stage, just a conversation.
2. Onboarding & Creative Direction
You’ll receive your contract, invoice, and a brand strategy questionnaire to complete before the project begins. From there, I translate your answers into a clear creative direction through strategy, references, and curated moodboards.
3. Design Development
With the direction approved, I begin crafting your visual identity, refining each detail with intention until the brand feels cohesive, elevated, and aligned.
4. Final Delivery
You’ll receive your final brand assets, guidelines, and supporting materials, carefully organized and ready for launch.

Working with Bianca was a phenomenal experience. She understood the brief very well and was beyond accommodating when it came to showing design directions. Bianca has a phenomenal taste. So we knew we were in the right hands when she was coming up with a visual identity.

Bianca took the time to truly understand our vision and translated it into a refined and coherent brand identity for NZ Concepts. The visual system and print collateral feel thoughtful and consistent, and the result aligns perfectly with how we want to present our studio. The collaboration was smooth and professional, and I’m very happy with the outcome.
Nadine Zureikat
As a low budget musician in the dark metal scene, I was in need of a logo for my new project. It needed to suit various stylistic constraints to best fit the music while (on top of that), I already commissioned and received logo drafts from two other designers which unfortunately turned out somewhat lacking. Needless to say: Third time is the charm as I am really happy with how Biancas work turned out. Her logo not only manages to capture the essence of the music and the concept but was also delivered in quite a fast turnaround time. I can wholeheartedly recommend her work.
