Meu nome é Marcus Souza, sou Diretor de Arte, Designer Gráfico, entusiasta de arte 3D e músico criado na favela

do jd. são jorge, Atualmente moro no centro de São Paulo, Brasil.


Fazendo arte desde 97' entrei de vez na área do design em 2016 quando fiz um curso técnico na etec carlos de campos (que por curiosidade, foi onde os grafiteiros "osgêmeos" e crânio, também estudaram).


de lá pra cá, trabalhei com alguns clientes desenvolvendo campanhas publicitárias, KV's, desdobramentos on e off, artes para social, identidades visuais, logos e muito mais coisas por ai.


Para mim, Arte é sentimento, é a maneira como você explica sua visão de mundo com palavras, desenhos, música, dança e movimento. Tudo está conectado a uma única coisa:

o sentimento. Um é tudo e tudo é um.


Além de ser Artista e Músico, sou lutador de Karate (faixa roxa). Já ganhei alguns campeonatos pela Federação CBKI, como o Campeonato Nacional, o Campeonato Paulista,

o Grand Prix, e fui eleito o melhor do ano em 2022.

My name is Marcus Souza, I am an Art Director, Graphic Designer, 3D art enthusiast, and musician, raised in the Jardim São Jorge favela. I currently live in downtown São Paulo, Brazil.


Creating art since '97, I fully entered the design field in 2016 when I took a technical course at ETEC Carlos de Campos (interestingly, the same place where graffiti artists "Os Gêmeos" and Crânio also studied).


Since then, I've worked with various clients, developing advertising campaigns, key visuals, on-and-off adaptations, social media art, visual identities, logos, and much more.


For me, Art is feeling; it’s the way you convey your worldview through words, drawings, music, dance, and movement. Everything is connected to one thing:

feeling. One is all, and all is one.


besides being an Artist and Musician, I’m a Karate fighter (purple belt). I’ve won several championships with the CBKI Federation, including the National Championship, the São Paulo State Championship, the Grand Prix, and I was awarded the best of the year in 2022.

Framer serves as my go-to tool for creating interactive prototypes. I use it to bring designs to life, allowing stakeholders to experience the user flow and interactions before development begins. It's invaluable for refining the user experience.
