About Me

A Lover of Life-long Learning...

I am Bruno Crepaldi, based in Belo Horizonte, Brasil, Gold Coast, Australia. I am a Graphic Designer who has been creating bespoke solutions for customers since 2004. I have a strong branding and print design background. The spectrum of my work includes: Visual Identities, Branding, Print, Web Design, Photography, and everything in-between.

During my 15 years (or more, I’m getting old and I have lost count) of experience, I have had the opportunity to work with incredible people, clients and projects, many of them award winners in different countries.

I am currently the founder and creative director of X1 Design Studio, which works for clients in Australia and Brazil.

Ah!  My newest passion is coffee and I’ve just taken a barista course. (I know it has nothing to do with the subject but I’m so excited about this amazing black gold that I had to mention it!)
