Hey, I'mThiago
(Tee-AH-goo) — running design at CasinoGrounds and CasinoScores, turning messy problems into things people actually want to use.
I build brands fromthe inside out.
The route: Brazilian agencies and a lot of beer labels, the design studio I co-founded, then Malta and iGaming — where I ended up leading design for the world's largest casino streaming community. A stretch remote from Spain, now back in Brazil, working worldwide.

How I work
- 01
Brand-first thinking
Every decision ladders back to the brand story and the business goal behind it.
- 02
Strategy before pixels
I dig into the why before jumping to the how — design starts with understanding.
- 03
Systems that scale
Design systems, guidelines and frameworks that keep every touchpoint consistent.
What teammates say
“He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure tasks are completed promptly and to an exceptional quality — adeptly guiding a team of creative individuals to deliver their best work.”
And another
“A leader and mentor for the rest of the design team — working toe to toe with engineers as well as business.”

Anyone can polish a surface. I care about what’s underneath — the systems, the story, the details nobody sees but everyone feels.

The branding years
Brand identities, packaging and art direction, 2013–2019. Beer labels, schools, dentists — everyone deserves a good mark. This is where “brand” in Brand & Experience Designer comes from.
