About


About me

I’m Gustavo Zamonaro, a designer from São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, working as an art director and creative technologist.

My journey began at the intersection of creativity and technology. Growing up online, I recorded and edited videos for YouTube, and that curiosity led me to Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign at 16.

My style is strongly influenced by minimalist art, with a focus on spacing, layout and typography. I aim for designs that are versatile and timeless, and that fit different personalities and eras.

For me, art is not only a form of expression. It is also a channel for critique and reflection.

Today I lead art direction at Invite INC, co-founded The Origo Studio, and build the tools I work with using AI.

Eight years of design, from social media and campaigns to brand identity, art direction and code.


What I do

ART DIRECTION, The Origo Studio poster. brand identity, PACKAGING, print, NABA 2021 poster. SOCIAL MEDIA, AI image, An image generated in Higgsfield. AI VIDEO and WEBSITES.

DESIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN, FOR ME, A QUESTION OF INTENTION.
