Raísa Almeida is an Art Director and Visual Designer from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in Brooklyn, NY ☻
Currently a Graphic Designer at Invisible North, where she creates immersive brand experiences, from cultural activations to large-scale events, Raísa also freelances for brands like Strava, where she’s created standout visual assets for campaigns such as the 2023 NYC Marathon and 2025 Rio Marathon, in-app challenges, and global events. She has also collaborated with studios like Mesa, tackling complex prototypes, visual identities, and ad campaigns under high-speed deadlines. Her work has been featured in the 13th Brazilian Graphic Design Biennale and recognized with other awards.

Raísa’s creativity isn’t confined to the screen—she’s deeply engaged with social impact, sports, and event production, especially in cycling. In New York, she races with an amateur track cycling team and helps organize grassroots events, applying her design skills to build community and amplify the sport. Back in Brazil, she co-founded Efêmmera, a collective spotlighting female voices in street culture through murals, talks, exhibitions, and collaborative art projects.

A proud Paulistana, Raísa was awarded a full scholarship by the Brazilian government to study at the Maryland Institute College of Art in “The Greatest City in America” (Baltimore’s words, not hers). She’s also passionate about graffiti and letterpress, always exploring new tools and crafts that keep her creativity moving.
