HI, I'M RAFA!

Sounds like Raf-Fah: 'ra' similar to the 'rah' in 'car,' and 'fa' like the 'fah' in 'far' :-) 


I'm an Art Director and Character Designer based in São Paulo/Brazil, working worldwide on a variety of projects. I'm also co-founder of GUMI, an art and design studio.

I strongly believe that each piece of art should be handled with care, dedication and genuine intent, so it can result in something truly unique and special.

I'm sure we can create the coolest things together! Please contact me at:
