Moda Brasil

Brazil & California

2025

Based in San Diego, Moda Brasil offers timeless pieces for women who value elegance, confidence, and versatility sourced directly from Brazil. Each collection moves effortlessly from day to evening, embodying its promise: “Made in Brasil, Worn by You.” With capsule collections, exclusive sets, and bold prints, Moda Brasil represents a harmony of cultures. For Moda Brasil, we created a full brand concept as well as conducting a Homepage Website Audit before the company’s online launch.

Brief

We created to build a full brand concept for Moda Brasil. The mandate covered logo, typography, palette, brand voice, and a homepage audit. The aim: create a visual and strategic foundation that honors Brazilian craftsmanship while resonating with an international audience with clear, cohesive brand signals.

Challenge

Though the site had strong visuals and aspirational tone, the messaging felt fragmented and navigation was somewhat unclear. The homepage placed emphasis on multiple taglines that competed for attention, and there was no immediate call-to-action in the hero area.

Solution

We created a refined identity system. The logo, color palette, and type system draw from natural earthy tones and bold contrast to reflect both elegance and energy. We unified messaging structure: consolidating competing lines into one powerful hero statement, and introduced clear CTAs (“Shop the Collection,” “Discover Best Sellers”). The homepage audit suggested reorganizing the navigation (e.g. “Collections” instead of “Catalog”) and improving mobile responsiveness for overlays and typography.
