I design the structures that take brand, product, and marketing from idea to scale. I'm a Brazilian Senior Brand Designer based in Barcelona. For two decades I've worked across branding, digital products, and design systems, most recently seven years at Netquest, GfK, and NIQ, building three brand identities from zero across 20+ international markets. I do my best work where brand, product, and marketing need to move together at speed, without losing coherence.

Started my career creating visual identities and communication materials for local businesses.

The most interesting design problems are rarely visual. They emerge when products, systems, people, and perception stop moving in the same direction.

AT WORK

I start with the problem, not the deliverable. That usually means understanding the systems behind the surface: business constraints, operational realities, product behaviour, team dynamics, and the invisible friction shaping the experience. From there, I work across strategy, identity, systems, and execution, building structures that remain coherent through growth, ambiguity, and real-world complexity. I’m most useful when the answer still isn’t obvious.

IN LIFE

I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro and have been based in Barcelona since 2014. Growing up close to the ocean shaped a lot of how I think. Windsurfing and kitesurfing taught me early that most systems are alive. Conditions change constantly. Control rarely comes from force. It comes from reading movement correctly and adapting fast enough to stay in flow. That mindset stayed with me, both in life and in design. Especially at scale.

“Most brands don’t lose relevance because of bad design.
They lose coherence as growth creates fragmentation between products, teams, systems, and perception.”

Fabio Estellita

I'm currently open to full-time opportunities across brand, product, and systems design.

I’m currently open to full-time opportunities across brand, product, and systems design. Especially companies navigating growth, complexity, fragmented experiences, or moments of transformation. If that sounds familiar, I’d love to hear about it.
