The Designer
Hi! I’m Rodrigo (he/him), a graphic designer with a holistic focus on visual identity, typography, and motion. Over the past couple of years, I’ve integrated AI tools like Gemini and Firefly into my workflow, utilizing them for both concept development and image generation. When not designing, I am cooking or following social media to find interesting new places.
