I'm Marina, a designer based in Brazil (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
I am a graphic designer and motion designer, currently living in Florianópolis, Brazil. Having majored in Design at UFSC, I successfully graduated in 2020 and have garnered over five years of professional experience in graphic design. Currently, I am specializing in animation and motion design, adding another skill to my range as a visual communicator.
I have always loved communication in its various forms: visual arts, music, texts, dance, and cinema. Early on, I realized how powerful storytelling and conveying messages could be. I observed how stories could change lives, how messages could inspire movements, and how communication allows each individual or entity to occupy a place in the world. With this transformative potential and diverse possibilities for action, I knew that this was what I wanted to pursue professionally.
Skills
I have worked as a designer in different types of organizations, from startups to large companies. I have also worked with international teams, using English to communicate.
As a graphic designer, I have experience primarily in design for social media, layout design for educational, informative, and/or advertising materials, design of informative and commercial presentations, development of visual identities, visual conception, and art direction. As a motion designer, I specialize in 2D animation, being able to not only animate existing pieces but also create them from scratch. I have experience in storyboard, video shooting, and editing.
Soft Skills
I have experience working with multidisciplinary teams, including other visual designers, instructional designers, writers, proofreaders, and motion designers. I have managed and guided the work of freelancers for on-demand projects and assisted in managing schedules for handling multiple projects simultaneously. As a freelancer, I continuously self-manage, deeply understanding the production flow for each task.
Hard Skills
I use Adobe Creative Cloud in my daily work, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere, and Adobe After Effects. I also frequently use Figma. New software are not a problem for me :)
