I transform brands
Hi! I'm Gabo.
I’m not just a strategist. I’m a translator of culture, meaning, and emotion into brands that truly matter.
What defines me isn’t just professional experience. but the perspective and the breadth of a life well lived.
I am a mother and I live in Florianópolis, where I learn from the sea, nature, and movement about flow, presence, and constancy.
I’ve always wanted to understand what drives people, why they choose, love, and remember. Traveling around the world twice taught me about diversity, empathy, and purpose, and that beauty, connection, and emotion may speak different languages but share the same essence.
I love movement, skateboarding, the wind, and change. It’s in motion that I discover new ways of seeing and feeling.
My perspective is shaped by design, fashion, nature, the streets, and human connections, by everything that sparks wonder.
I move fluidly across disciplines to connect what truly matters. I lead with structure, create with intuition, and question assumptions, even my own.
I ask the questions that matter because I believe the best ideas are born where the surface ends.
I don’t believe in formulas. I build meaning.
I see the world through emotion and insight.
For me, branding is not about noise, it is about truth, relevance, and emotional depth.
More than flawless deliverables, what matters to me is genuine impact.
I want what I create to matter, to move, to endure.
This applies to the brands I touch, the people I collaborate with, and the life I choose to live.
I am a free spirit with a strong backbone, both rational and sensitive, part elegance, part intensity.
A creative soul that sees the invisible and gives shape to what people feel.
