Raphael D'Oliveira

I hold a degree in Social Communication from Universidade Veiga de Almeida and have been working with design since the very beginning of my career.

My interest in the field started back in 2012, when I created an indie-style t-shirt e-commerce and organized a party for the local indie scene in Baixada Fluminense. Those early projects opened the door to the world of design and motivated me to pursue a degree in Advertising — a key step that led to my first job as a designer at VMotors.

A year later, I decided to start my own business and co-founded Folks, a creative agency I ran with two friends for two and a half years. After that, I embarked on a five-and-a-half-year journey as an Art Director at WDA (wda.ag), where I had the opportunity to work with clients across multiple industries and take part in large-scale, challenging projects.

Following WDA, I dove into the world of tourism and environmental education as a Senior Marketing Analyst at AquaRio, where I worked for one year and three months. Next, I took on the role of Art Director at NMLSS, an innovative events company in Rio de Janeiro, for another year and a half. I later returned to WDA for a new cycle of one year and three months before moving on to my current challenge.

Today, I’m a Senior Art Director at FSB Comunicação, working with the Subsecretariat of Social Communication for the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Here, I apply all my experience to strengthen communication between the government and the public through impactful social and institutional projects.
