see how I bring ideas to life

about me:

hey, I’m Amandha

I’m Amandha, a Brazilian designer living in Europe, and I’m probably already thinking about your brand. ☺︎

After over a decade in the coffee industry (yes, I can guess almost everything about a coffee just by the smell), I launched my own brand in 2018. That’s when I had my first real taste of branding and design, and something clicked. Suddenly, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Since then, I’ve been learning, practicing, testing, failing, and falling in love with it all over again. Little by little, I made the choice to switch careers. And today I still wake up early and make coffee, but now it’s to sketch, plan, design, and (let’s be honest) obsess over grids and fonts.

I’ve always known I didn’t want to just design pretty things. I want to build brands with a voice, because I’ve been on the other side, creating my own product and needing it to mean something. I believe in brands with presence, with clarity, with soul. Brands that speak for themselves, even when you’re not in the room.

If you’re someone with big ideas, a bold vision, and a soft spot for a little creative chaos, we’ll probably get along just fine.

I’ve been in your shoes ♡

Before I became a designer, I had two coffee brands and a PhD in doing-everything-myself. I know what it’s like to hustle, launch from scratch, and have a brain that won’t stop throwing ideas at 3AM. That journey gave me real empathy, I get what it’s like to build something and still have to figure out how to talk about it without sounding like a robot.

I’m a curious kid ✳︎

I’ll ask you all the questions, the deep ones, the weird ones, the “wait, why does that matter?” ones. I’m obsessed with getting to the heart of your brand. Why did you start Where are we going with all this? Think of me as your branding therapist (yep, I love psychoanalysis too). We’re going deep because surface-level just doesn’t cut it.

I have receipts ✐

There’s no magic formula, but I do have a process that works. It’s a mix of research, gut feeling, and a whole lot of asking “but why?”.
My work isn’t about throwing trends or cool stuff on a page. It’s about building something that holds meaning and speaks for you when you’re not in the room.
Everything I offer comes from what I’ve tested, learned and lived. Design isn’t just about visuals, it’s processes that actually get results.

I believe in play ☺︎

Because creativity needs room to breathe (and sometimes make mistakes and laugh about it). I’m not here to make things feel tight or corporate. I’m here to make it click.
Whether we’re moodboarding based on your favorite food or playing with a layout until it feels just right, I keep things light, collaborative and very human.
Play isn’t a distraction. It’s how we find the gold.
