Tássia Valim
Art Director, Graphic Designer
I'm a Brazilian living in Miami with an appetite for culture and a passion for music. An uncommon blend of creativity and goal-driven pragmatism. I also happen to be an entrepreneur, a childhood cancer survivor, a new cat mom, and a massive fan of all things Apple. I'm the kind of person who enjoys watching reruns of "I Dream of Jeannie" just as much as the latest hit shows. Oh, and I'm also an Aerosmith superfan.
My journey as a creative officially began at age 18 when I set out to create an Aerosmith website for Brazilian fans like me. Driven by my passion for music and teaching myself along the way, I grew Aeroworld.com.br into a highly successful site. I got official support from Sony Music Brasil and even recognition from the band itself!
That experience led me to pursue a career in Graphic Design and improve my skills as a creative and leader capable of managing a team. Following my bachelor’s degree, I worked at large agencies in Rio de Janeiro for the next few years. During that time, I learned so much about design, brands, and agency dynamics.
Since 2013, I’ve had my own agency, AWT Design, but after many years of working in the design industry, it was time to think differently, expand my creative senses, and get out of my comfort zone. That led me to the United States and Miami Ad School. Transitioning into the advertising industry while nurturing my love of design was challenging but exciting and ultimately so rewarding.
And now, with another graduation and more awards under my belt, I'm searching for the right fit for me and my career.
