Bio - Eduardo "Dudu" Gomes

I’m a conceptual designer and art director with 17+ years of shaping ideas that connect deeply with people. My work blends human-focused design with a rich visual vocabulary—built over years of absorbing art, culture, and craft across disciplines. From branding and visual design to motion, film, and animation, I bring ideas to life with care, intention, and a hands-on mindset. My roots are in hand-crafted execution, and today, I channel that same attention to detail through a new creative workflow powered by AI tools—evolving the process without losing the soul. Born in Rio, based in Austin, I bring both a global lens and a maker’s heart to every challenge.
