Digital platforms & AI solutions

+

I work with AI every day and build with it: order-management systems, automations, dashboards, plus AI image, video and voice generation for brands. If it can be done with AI, I'll find a way to ship it.

Also: branding, video editing and social media content, so a project rarely needs a second supplier.

AboutHi, I'm Rafa.

Portrait of Rafael Thofehrn

I'm a Brazilian designer living in Perth. I started in motion design at PXP Production (Publicis Groupe), moved to Vati and ended up leading a production team that shipped 300+ ad assets a week for Stellantis, Volkswagen, Vivo and Heineken.

I'm an organised person who likes to understand the root of a problem and the logic behind a system. I enjoy structuring processes, getting the most out of my tools to make the day-to-day lighter, and working with data and numbers. It's also why I picked up web development and AI tools: they let me automate the repetitive parts.

Bachelor's in Digital DesignUniversidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), Brazil. Academic projects recognised with awards.

  • Motion for ad formats: DOOH, HTML5, TV, social
