Brand Identity & Strategy Designer | Fábio Cambrea Design Studio

Fábio Cambréa Designer • Self-employed

Jan 2015 - Present • 11 yrs 9 mos

Independent brand studio working with founders and growing companies across Brazil, Europe and the United States. Over 500 projects delivered in food and beverage, health and medical technology, supplements, real estate, retail and professional services. Every engagement runs on a proprietary five-stage process covering structure, strategy, emotion, style and engagement. Work begins with a four-step brand audit that defines where the business competes and how it differentiates, before any visual decision is made. Deliverables span brand strategy and positioning, naming, full visual identity systems, packaging, brand guidelines, digital applications and launch materials. Selected engagements include a Living Brand Platform: an interactive brand system with a navigable brand book, a centralised asset library and a brand-trained AI assistant, so the identity stays usable long after delivery.
