Design Research Interests:

Brand Identity briefings are being generated through traditional and new methodologies, combined or not, usually through rigid processes that do not fit all creative professionals and the clients’ needs. Add to this scenario the increasing number of stakeholders actively opining and suggesting changes in Graphic Design projects, and the result is lack of clarity on the information, creating an additional layer of complexity, and impeding designers to fully use their creative skills and deliver high quality and assertive Brand Identity for their clients.

For real graphic designers, who are missing creative processes, my idea is to investigate, demystify and present different methodologies for creative processes that are truly efficient and provide integration for the Creative Team, and innovative results for Brand Identity Design. Unlike many ideas available in the market that offer “one size fits all” solutions, my idea is to present and compare different options for creative processes, so designers can learn from a variety of options, test and create their own customized creative process. As a result, they will get highly successful projects in Brand Identity creation.
