My 20 years career was built under graphic arts process, since 1989 when I started to learn Offset Printing, then attended to 3.5 years of Graphic Design Course, plus 1.5 year of internship including both courses.
My first 4 years of work were made into Ad Agencies (1995-1999), then I accepted an invitation to join a packaging design department at Novartis Brazil, where in only 6 months I reached the department coordination and after more 1 year I was invited to become a Packaging Design Exclusive service provider which gave me the opportunity to start my first design firm called Madhouse PackWorks (2001-2013).
After some time (from 2005 on) into the packaging design business I felt the need to recover my main and preferred design skills at Brand Design and founded another business called You - Brand Psychology which was a Brand Strategy Consulting firm and stayed like this until the end of 2011 when I decided to change its role a little bit to become simply a Individual Design Studio, called EW Design Studio, and that's my business until these days.

Work Experience
EW Design Studio
Design Administrator
The EW Design Studio is the result of two parallel experiments in two of our main areas: Brand Design and Packaging .
In April 2001, we founded Madhouse Packworks to meet Pharmaceutical Laboratories, which have great demand in the Development of Artworks for the packaging of their drugs . Our first customer in this area was Novartis Biosciences (covering several of its divisions), then came Latinofarma, Libbs, Sandoz, Schering - Plough (now MSD ) among others .
In late 2005 , brought to market, a more strategical design purpose: You - Brand Psychology whose focus was a strategic consultancy for building brand personality . The You - Brand Psychology helped to boost the image of several companies of all sizes and market segments, and in early 2012, we decided to join the success stories of these two companies into one, which we called EW Design Studio. Since then, our proposed work has attracted several companies that have benefited from a serious, comprehensive and complete design solution, both in print media as well as in digital media.
