Dengo


ILLUSTRATION


Dengo Chocolates is a premium Brazilian brand focused on high-quality chocolate production with a commitment to environmental and social responsibility. The brand works closely with small-scale farmers and employs agroforestry practices to preserve native vegetation while enhancing cacao quality.

In collaboration with REBU, the studio behind the brand’s identity, I played a key role in the early development of Dengo’s visual identity. My work included designing some of the brand’s first labels and patterns, which were essential to shaping its unique aesthetic.

During the 2020 and 2021 holiday campaigns, I created modernized prints inspired by chita, a traditional Brazilian fabric, combining vibrant colors with a more contemporary and premium feel. This approach perfectly aligned with Dengo’s brand values, blending cultural heritage with sophistication.

For the Quebra-Quebra line, my illustrations drew from Brazil’s rich fauna and flora, adopting a collage-inspired, surrealist style. These tropical designs added layers of interpretation to the packaging, creating a bold and dynamic visual narrative that reflects Dengo’s core principles of sustainability and craftsmanship. The illustrations were adapted across various products, forming a cohesive, visually striking collection that elevated the brand’s identity.
