Hi, I'm Caren

I make pixels move & flow with the cosmos

I'm a Brazilian motion designer living in Austin, TX since 2019, but the creative obsession started much earlier. I was always drawing and creating things as a kid, I've always been fascinated by the way nature moves and the shapes and colors hiding in it. At 18 I heard you could use Photoshop for creating art rather than just editing images, I fell down a rabbit hole, and never really climbed back out.

I was in business school at the time, trying to find where design fit into that world. It didn't, really. At 24 I dropped everything, moved cities with nothing in my pocket, and enrolled in film school. Best decision I ever made. That's where I discovered motion design and where I said yes to animating a logo for my boss before I had any idea how to do it. One weekend and a lot of After Effects later, I showed up with a fully animated logo and a new obsession.

More recently I've expanded into UI/UX and product design, which opened up a whole new way of thinking creatively. What drew me to it was finding out that you can actually measure how people respond to your work through clicks, conversions, and behavior. It makes design decisions feel even more intentional. I just love how it all connects, motion, illustration, UI, graphics, the way each skill supports the others and gives me a variety of paths to solve a creative problem.

My Work Experience

Aceable

2021-Now

At Aceable I lead motion and visual design across marketing campaigns and product initiatives, designing everything from paid ads and landing pages to CTV spots and motion systems. I work closely with marketing, product, and CRO teams to make sure the work performs as well as it looks.

Freelancer

2019-2021

For two years I worked with entertainment and tech clients delivering end-to-end motion projects, from explainers and logo animations to social campaigns. I handled everything from concept through final delivery, adapting style and approach to fit each brand.

Conteúdo Filmes

2015-2018

At Conteúdo Filmes I created 2D and 3D motion graphics for major cable TV networks including Warner, Universal, Telecine, and Globoplay. Broadcast-ready promos, show packages, and branded content reaching large national audiences, my first taste of motion design at real scale.

Brainstorming Entretenimento

2014-2015

The first role where I had an actual design title, it was where I started diving deeper into motion design. I was hired to design print materials for theatre productions, but I kept exploring After Effects on my own by animating visual IDs for upcoming shows. They ended up playing those animations in the theatre foyer, my first animations with a real audience.
