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 own studio for 3 years, until I moved to Brazil’s capital, Brasília. After 3 and a half year in Brasília, I moved back to Belo Horizonte, to be Art Director for a new and promising Magazine.

There I worked at a communication agency, and I also worked with some selected clients, as a designer at my studio, 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 Belo Horizonte since december 2010. Got back to a lot of my old clients, and still doing some work for my new clients based in Brasília.
