VINNY ARAUJO

With over seventeen years of experience in design, I’ve had the opportunity to work across continents and disciplines. Starting in São Paulo, Brazil, and now based in Toronto, Canada, my career has focused on digital platforms and immersive experiences. As a creative director, I lead with high-level vision and strategy, but what truly distinguishes me is my hands-on approach. I don’t just guide the process—I dive into the creation of interactive websites, apps, and experiences, ensuring that every detail aligns with the overarching vision.

My work spans a wide range of projects, from crafting intimate, immersive experiences to overseeing large-scale platforms with complex design systems. Regardless of the project size, I am deeply committed to blending technology, storytelling, and user experience to create meaningful and impactful work.

At .Monks (formerly Media.Monks), I collaborate with world-class clients, including Google, Meta, Amazon, to name a few. My focus on providing exceptional client service has allowed me to forge long-term relationships, often expanding single projects into ongoing partnerships and retainers.

I’ve been fortunate to receive sixty-eight awards for my work, a recognition of my dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and innovation.

I am particularly excited about the future of AI and its potential to reshape the design landscape. As this technology evolves, I look forward to seeing how it will transform human interactions with technology, making those experiences more intuitive, meaningful, and seamless.
