Raísa Almeida is an Art Director and Visual Designer based in São Paulo, Brazil, currently working at SOKO ☻

 

Raísa also freelances with brands like Strava, where she crafts compelling visual assets for campaigns such as the 2023 NYC Marathon, and various events and in-app challenges. She also collaborates with creative companies like Mesa, contributing her talents to develop complex prototypes, visual identities, and ad campaigns, all within tight timeframes that challenge the limits of her creativity. Some of her work was featured in the 13th Brazilian Graphic Design Biennale and other awards. 

Beyond her professional expertise, she is deeply engaged in the world of social impact, sports, and event organization, particularly in cycling. Her passion for cycling has led her to organize and produce cycling races and events, where she apply her skills in visual design, production, and social media management to promote them, engage the community, and enhance the overall experience for participants and spectators alike. She also co-founded Efêmmera, a network of entrepreneurship and appreciation of female protagonism in street culture, where she empowers and collaborates with other artists through commissions, street art, murals, talks, exhibitions, and art curatorship.

Recognized for her talent, she was awarded a full-time scholarship to study Graphic Design at The Maryland Institute College of Art by the Federal Government of Brazil from 2015 to 2016.

Her passions extend to graffiti and letterpress, reflecting her commitment to continuous learning and using new skills and tools to enhance her creativity and make a meaningful impact.
