Successful, philanthropist, millionaire. That’s Angelina Jolie, I am Ana Carolina.
Born and raised in São Paulo, in that ordinary way we like to believe is unique – and it may be, actually?
I graduated in Marketing at the University of São Paulo, after 5 consecutive christmas dealing with “so, when are you graduating?”. And of course, I’ve had some other accomplishments in these 26 years, less important now. What you need to know: I finally got my degree, I’m bilingual and on an adventure with no end in sight.
I believe we all need to innovate, so that we don’t fall into obsolescence. So in 2019, I was ready for new challenges, and that’s what motivated me to travel the world. My goal was not to travel in a sabbatical year, but to work from any location, trading services with hostels, hotels and inns. Using all of my skills to improve their communication in exchange of a place to stay.
I worked for about 3 years at the New Balance’s office, at the Product area. I met people that were fundamental for my personal and professional growth (hi, @Rapha and @Helo), and after that, my only goal was to structure my professional life remotely in order to travel. Since then I’ve worked with social media, design, professional presentations and a little bit of photography. But I’ve fallen in love with logo design and brand identity.
Today my life is all about this trip, Marketing and Design.
Anyway, I think that’s all. I’d like to thank my parents, for being so supportive throughout these 26 years. You are my whole life.
Best regards.
