João Charepe Singer-songwriter and Vocal Coach

I had the pleasure to work with Rafael in my last album. He was in charge of the editing, mix and final mastering of the audio. I am very happy with the final result, not only in terms of audio quality but also Rafael knew how to deal with the core intention of the project and aesthetics required for all the musics. He also did some arrangements, that gave a good musical contribution to some tracks.
I highly recommend Rafael as a audio producer, for sure you will have the best results

André Ferreira CEO at OSM The Art of Engineering

I’ve been working with Rafael more than 10 years now. He’s definitely a skilled designer with a great attention to detail. Has not only knowledge in a big range of designing tools but he mastered them perfectly, namely 3D rendering and app/browser development design which has been very important for us. Every project he did was made perfectly accordingly to guidelines. Even when it was not clear he always had outstanding ideas enhancing the final outcome.

Pedro Coutinho Founder and Investor

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rafael for over 10 years, and he remains my go-to Branding and UI Designer for any project I’m involved with. Rafael's professionalism and dedication to thorough research are unmatched, ensuring that his designs are not only highly impactful but also deeply aligned with each brand’s identity and goals. He has a unique ability to listen to client needs, understand the bigger picture, and deliver results that exceed expectations.
I trust Rafael so much that I recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional digital designer.

Pravin Paratey Co-Founder and CTO at Kaizan

I worked with Rafa where he was responsible for the UI design. Even though he was part time, it never felt that way. He was very much part of our team, being vocal during meetings and putting his opinions forward. He didn't just do what he was told, but questioned the why, which resulted in a better overall outcome for the product.

His work is good and he is efficient at delivery. He built a solid design system that was easy for developers to use and expand on. He incorporates things like accessibility, different screen sizes, dark/light modes by default. I'd love to work with him again in the future!

Tiago Sá Co-Founder and CEO at Wisecrop

Rafael is very professional and perfectionist in everything he does. The schedules are always respected and even though he orients his job on the requirements defined at the beginning, he his flexible enough to accept last-minute changes. Very educated, easy to talk with and respectful. I strongly recommend him to anyone who wants a beautiful webapp or mobile app regarding Design and UI/UX.
