About

Person

My name is Cláudio Mendonça, I’m a graphic designer in Brazil. I was born as a designer. Yes, that’s right. My father is a designer, and since kindengarden I was encouraged to draw, and since my 8 years old I already wanted to become a designer. Well, some years have passed, I was 14 by then, and since I was still in liking the idea of graphic design, my father arranged for me to become a trainee in an offset press company. “This way you will learn the smell of press…” he said. It was amazing.
Later on, I turned 19, and it was time to engage in College, and Graphic Design it is. I graduated ate FUMEC University, in 2005.

While I was in college, I was already working on side projects at my fathers Design Studio, and started to grab some jobs with my teachers. A bit later I worked as a trainee at a nice studio at Belo Horizonte.

After I graduated, I worked with my father for 3 years, until I moved to Brazil’s capital, Brasília.

Here I work at a communication agency, and I also work with some selected clients, as a designer in MCM Design.

I am an overall designer, being able to craft nice material for print and web. My true passion in design is branding and logo design.

Place

I’m living in Brasília for the last 2 years. It’s a nice city, great architecture, and nice places. A good share of my work is still for Belo Horizonte, so working at a distance is no big deal.
