Hi, I'm Raphael Lopes, UI/Visual Designer with a background in graphic design, remotly working from Brazil.
Over the last 16 years, I have worked as a Designer in several areas such as advertising, branding, graphic design and product design.
In 2018, I started in the game industry as a UI Artist. Since then I've been helping teams at companies such as Supercell and Wildlife Studios to solve problems through design, from user flows, wireframes and prototypes to UI art and other visual assets for game interfaces.
In parallel, I have been working as a Designer/Artist with indie developers and small companies, helping them to solve problems through UI, icon, logo design and illustrations.
