Hi, I’m Louise — a Brazilian designer, artist, and mother with over 15 years of experience helping brands, studios, and organizations tell their stories through thoughtful, human-centered design.
My journey began as an art director at a B2B agency, followed by a transformative design residency in Japan. Returning to Brazil, I co-founded an agency specializing in internal communication, collaborating with clients such as Viação Ouro e Prata and Intercity Hotels.
In 2012, I chose to leave the agency to pursue my passion for the arts. Since then, I have worked independently on a diverse range of projects—from cultural and social campaigns to global brands like Disney+, Leo Burnett, and the BMW Foundation. I have always believed in design’s power to create meaningful impact, a conviction that has only deepened over time.
In 2017, I moved to Portugal to pursue a Master’s in Fine Arts at Universidade do Porto, where I enriched my creative process and deepened my connection to art. Upon completing my master’s degree, I was honored to receive the Arte Jovem 2020 prize, promoted by Millenium BCP. As part of this recognition, I was awarded an individual exhibition at Abre Advogados, providing a valuable platform to share my work with a broader audience.
My artworks are also part of respected public collections in Brazil, including the Museu de Arte do Rio Grande do Sul (MARGS) and the Museu de Arte Contemporânea do Rio Grande do Sul (MACRS), reflecting my ongoing engagement with the Brazilian contemporary art scene.
I also hold degrees in Advertising and Visual Arts (UFRGS), as well as an MBA in Marketing, Branding, and Growth (PUCRS).
In 2021, I returned to Brazil to start a new chapter: building a family. Today, I am a mother to a one-year-old and work part-time as a Visual Designer at Fused. Whenever possible, I immerse myself in personal art projects, which keep me grounded and inspired.
I am now seeking new collaborations with purpose-driven companies and NGOs—partners who share a commitment to building a better, fairer world. If this resonates with you, I would love to connect.
