I'm Raphael Galassi, an art director and designer based in São Paulo, Brazil. I build visual worlds for culture, mostly around skateboarding, music, fashion and the arts. Every project starts with an idea and the visual language that holds it together, and I carry it through to the final piece: an identity, a book, a skate deck, an apparel graphic, a website.

I'm an art director who still makes things. Depending on the project, I shoot, illustrate, lay out, oversee printing and, when needed, build. My work spans print, apparel and objects as much as digital experiences and creative development, where a visual idea becomes something you can navigate, click and interact with. That hands-on range shapes how I direct: ideas that hold up from concept to final form, on paper, on the body or on screen.

Graduated in Graphic Design from Belas Artes University, I work with brands, artists, collectives, labels, publishers and festivals, in Brazil and abroad. When a project calls for a bigger team, I bring in trusted collaborators.
