Hello! My name is Izabella Donafe. I born and live in São Paulo, Brazil, and I’ve been working as a designer since 2020. I work across many areas of graphic design, from visual identity to website creation and infographics, always seeking creative and smart solutions for each project. I have skills in web design, branding, editorial design, and motion design.
I'm Izabella Donafe, born and living in São Paulo, Brazil, 25 years old, a proud cat lady, addicted to Nintendo games and mind-bending indie games, and yes – completely in love with purple. I've been drawing since forever, and I found in design the place where my creativity and my work could finally meet. I have been working as a graphic designer for over five years, moving between visual identities, websites, landing pages, ads, and social media, while also playing around with and studying animation, motion graphics, video editing, and UI. My education in Visual Communication from ETEC, Multimedia from Senac, and Advertising Production from Belas Artes gave me the foundation to see design beyond aesthetics – as a tool for connection between brands and people.
My journey began at 18, when an app project during an Administration course made me flip the switch toward Visual Communication. Since then, I've worked at agencies such as 14, where I collaborated with Grupo Globo's Gente project, creating WordPress pages and infographics. Today, I split my time between Arrow Digital Group, focusing on websites, social media, and presentations, and Agência Via Láctea, where I serve my own clients. I master tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva, and platforms like Webflow, Framer, Wix, and Elementor – but what truly drives me is curiosity: I love learning new things and turning ideas into visual solutions that have personality, purpose, and a touch of affection. Because, deep down, beyond communication, design is about stories, and I want to help tell yours with the same dedication I put into every piece of art I create.
