Raísa Almeida is an Art Director and Visual Designer from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in Brooklyn, NY ☻
Currently a Senior Graphic Designer at Invisible North, she works across visual and experiential design, bringing ideas from early creative development into physical spaces and experiences. She also maintains an ongoing freelance partnership with Strava, with work often rooted in sport, culture, and community.

Her work has been featured twice in the Brazilian Graphic Design Biennale and recognized by Effie Awards Brasil, Clube de Criação, and Globo’s Best of the Year Professionals.

Beyond client work, Raísa races track in New York and helps organize grassroots cycling events. In Brazil, she co-founded Efêmmera, a collective amplifying female voices in street culture through art and community projects.

A proud Paulistana, she received a full scholarship to study Graphic Design at MICA in “The Greatest City in America” (Baltimore’s words, not hers). Her practice is shaped by a longtime love of graffiti, letterpress, printmaking, and making things with her hands.
