Raísa Almeida is an Art Director and Visual Designer from São Paulo, Brazil, now based in Brooklyn, NY ☻
Currently a Senior Graphic Designer at Invisible North, Raísa works across visual and experiential design to bring brand ideas into the physical world. Her work spans visual identities, pitch and creative decks, environmental graphics, activations, large-scale events, and production—from early creative development through fabrication and on-site execution. She also maintains an ongoing freelance partnership with Strava while collaborating independently with other brands and studios, creating identities and experiences rooted in sport, culture, and community.

Her work has been featured twice in the Brazilian Graphic Design Biennale and recognized by Effie Awards Brasil, Clube de Criação and Globo's Best of the Year Professionals.

Her creativity extends beyond client work. She’s deeply involved in cycling culture, racing with an amateur track team in New York and helping organize grassroots events that bring design, sport, and community together. In Brazil, she co-founded Efêmmera, a collective dedicated to amplifying female voices in street culture through murals, talks, exhibitions, and collaborative art projects.

A proud Paulistana, Raísa received a full scholarship from the Brazilian government to study Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art in “The Greatest City in America” (Baltimore’s words, not hers). Her practice is also shaped by a longtime love of graffiti, letterpress, and printmaking, and by an ongoing curiosity for tools and crafts that keep her making things with her hands.
