Love for art
We pride ourselves on being designers, we love the process and we enjoy our industry. We believe that art and design go hand in hand and touch people positively.

We are the Studio of the Year and Best Brazilian Studio, according to the Latin American 2025
Design Awards.
We are a Brazilian branding studio passionate about creating design that provokes, challenges, and has personality. We believe that good design always carries a touch of strangeness. It refuses to settle for mediocrity. The world is already saturated with ordinary brands, and our purpose is not to add another one to the list.
For us, design is a transversal discipline that runs through every layer of a business and shapes memorable experiences. We believe in the power of small studios, where the designer becomes the link that connects all the pieces.
From the very beginning, our path has been marked by many achievements. But our success goes far beyond awards. It lies in our obsession with pushing limits and creating brands that leave a unique impression. We believe that the fusion of a client’s purpose, a brand’s authenticity, and a touch of strangeness is what defines our work.
That feeling isn’t just a concept. It’s what creates real and lasting connections.
We create for brands that think differently.
We believe in people who see design as part of the thinking, not as decoration.
In brands that know being different can be the beginning of something new, and that discomfort is a sign of movement.
Every project is born from this restless spirit, from the urge to question the obvious and expand what already exists.
We move alongside those who believe great ideas are not meant to please everyone, but to make an impact.
We believe in brands that exist to provoke the world.

Reasons
Team
Gabriel Macohin
Graphic Designer
I am passionate about design, entrepreneurship, and education, as I believe these fields have the power to transform lives through experiences. That’s who I am: a designer, entrepreneur, and educator.
I began my career as a designer in 2005, started my first business at 19, and in 2009 founded OPZ, a design studio focused on visual identity. In 2011, I was invited to teach, which led me to discover my passion for education and how I could inspire others. In 2018, I founded Petrikór after rethinking my values and purpose. Since then, we’ve won several national and international awards and gained recognition.
Paulo Doi
Graphic Designer
A bit of everything. Most of the time, design, but sometimes filmmaking, animation, music, illustration, and other things I probably shouldn’t be doing.
Fueled by indie games, synthesizers, and fashion, I tend to put a little bit of myself into everything I create. I'm constantly trying to find time to work on personal projects.
Rafael Alves
Graphic Designer
Graduated from UNIFIL, I was part of the inaugural Graphic Design class in 2016. I have worked in product design studios, architecture firms, advertising agencies, and other companies before joining Petrikór. In every project I take on, I always start with an old passion—typography. A lover of Brazilian music, they call me "the most Brazilian person in the office." I’m a fan of the same dishes at the same restaurants every time. I don't like being photographed, but I enjoy making jokes at inappropriate moments and laughing whenever possible.
Fernanda Lima
graphic designer
Proudly shaped by pop culture, boybands, K-pop, and fanart, I illustrate and sometimes pretend to play something to feel like that teenager who just wants to be cool again. In my free time, I try out TikTok recipes, watch romantic comedies of questionable quality, brew some coffee, and start an unimportant task that I’ll probably not finish anytime soon.
I’m studying Graphic Design at UEL and interning here at Petrikór. I’ve learned that all work is about unlearning the conventional. I keep falling in love with everything I’ve experienced so far.
