Branding and digital design for businesses growing with purpose

I provide growth-enhancing branding and digital design services to clients focused on creating positive social impact.

Together we create brands and digital experiences that reflect who you are, what you stand for, and where you’re heading next.

Are you ready to evolve your brand?

Branding for growing businesses

Running a business for several years teaches you a lot.

You understand your customers better.
Your team grows.
Your vision becomes clearer.

But sometimes the brand you started with no longer reflects where the business is today.

That’s where I come in.

I help growing businesses refine their brand, clarify their message, and translate their values into thoughtful design.

Why would you like to work with me?

Apart from the fact I’m a nice person, of course…

After years working at agencies and in-house roles, I have decided to bring my vast industry knowledge to individuals and businesses that do good for people and planet by providing professional branding and digital design services that enables business growth either through freelance or consultancy services.

Working with owners and leadership teams, I help strategise and execute their brand vision, empowering them to effectively reach their target audience with the professional look and feel they deserve.

I’m a collaborator by nature and I enjoy working alongside the team, as an internal-external resource. Someone that brings industry experience and branding expertise to the table.

I’m passionate about our design for good and I believe creatives hold an important role in bringing new innovative ideas to live.

Pillars that guide my work

I believe design plays an important role in how businesses show up in the world.

The companies I most enjoy working with are those trying to do things thoughtfully. Businesses that care about: the people they work with, the communities they serve and the impact they leave behind.

Design for impact

I’m a strong believer that design can play a core role in bringing innovative and positive solutions to society. I love to work on projects that create a real impact on people’s lives.

Collaboration

I have a collaborative and empathetic approach by nature. I care about people and I want to deliver work that makes a difference. I have an open and transparent communication style, giving my opinion based on objectives or goals, not egos.

Positivity

I have a positive outlook in life and for me the glass is always half full. I focus on the opportunity of a project or situation and try to bring a positive and energetic approach to challenges that may arise.

Areas of Interest

Branding

From the beginning of my careers I have been passionate about branding and how it can be a pivot to business success.

Design for Good

When creativity is used as a force for good, it can be transformative and innovative for both people and planet.

Sustainability

Design can be a powerful tool to successfully communicate and educate people about sustainable practices. Empowering them to change behaviour.

I’m Fernanda

I’m a designer with over 15 years of experience working across branding, digital design and visual communication.

Originally from Brazil and now based in the UK, I’ve worked with organisations across different sectors, helping them shape brands that feel both strategic and human.

I’m particularly interested in working with businesses that care about their impact on people and the planet. Because when a company is built on meaningful values, design has the opportunity to tell a much richer story.

It will be a pleasure to meet you.
