I’m Gabriela Namie, a designer and art director based in New York. I’ve spent over 10 years harnessing systematic creative thinking to craft visuals and help brands come to life.
What I do
I currently work at Google as Seed Studio’s VisD Lead. I am both a hands-on designer and a creative director, helping guide the direction for multiple projects. Craft, process and well-being are equally important to me.
What I did
My work has been recognized by different awards and countries, including Art Director’s Club Young Guns 19, Latin American Awards, London International Creative Competition, A’Awards, Indigo Awards, the Brazilian Graphic Design Biennial, etc. I studied graphic and type design︎︎︎, and worked in branding in multiple environments from small studios to large agencies in São Paulo and in New York. When I decided to freelance, that naturally evolved into co-founding Studio Barca ︎︎︎. After some years leading the studio, I moved to New York to work as a Senior Designer at Sagmeister & Walsh︎︎︎ and then at Google as YouTube Music’s art director. After leading YouTube Music for 4 years, I decided to take a new challenge within Google at Seed Studio.
