Hi. I’m Matheus Souza. Graphic designer and art director with over 10 years of experience. Currently heading creative work at Lampejos and teaching design, usually accompanied by post-punk and new wave playlists.

Valda
A limited edition created to turn a cultural conflict into opportunity, rethinking Valda’s iconic green in a context where the color is openly rejected by Corinthians fans. Copywriting: José Neto. Art direction & design: Matheus Souza.


Mastercard
A campaign connecting women’s football to the idea that breaking barriers and challenging prejudice goes beyond money. Copywriting: José Neto. Art direction & design: Matheus Souza.


APP Campinas
An award-winning campaign recognized with the Galo de Ouro at Mídia Festival – Novos Talentos, created to celebrate the institution’s 40th anniversary.


Terraverde
A campaign built from real customer feedback, highlighting John Deere machines as fast and reliable to translate performance into clear, persuasive communication. Developed in collaboration with Lampejos Comunicação e Marketing, Americana–SP.


Mutante
A campaign highlighting Mutante Radio as more than a broadcast platform, but a space for shows and studios, using visuals rooted in underground, punk and DIY culture to connect with potential supporters.


Index
A campaign designed to express INDEX’s presence with elegance, translating its positioning into a refined visual language that speaks clearly to each of its segmented audiences. Developed in collaboration with Lampejos Comunicação e Marketing, Americana–SP.


Burger King
When everyone was talking about the Brazil–U.S. tariff war, it felt like a rare cultural moment begging for a reaction. Still hard to believe Burger King let that one pass.


Bradesco Seguros
A visual insight-driven piece designed to signal Bradesco Seguros presence in delicate moments, using simplicity and restraint to communicate reassurance without overstatement.


Luis Capucho Poster
A custom poster created to celebrate Luis Capucho, author of the song "Maluca", famously recorded by Cássia Eller. Commissioned by Luiz Biajoni, the piece was designed as both an artwork and a decorative object for the leadership team of Vegas Card, who brought the artist to perform in the countryside of São Paulo.


Underground Collage Calendar
A custom calendar created for the Americana Collage Collective, an underground, fanzine-rooted group focused on research, process and experimentation across the countryside of São Paulo. Each month features a collage by a different member of the collective including myself, with January opening as a collaborative piece and supported by a short communication series to launch and sell the edition.
