Tarcísio Cataldi

I'm a Brazilian multidisciplinary designer based in Montréal.

I focus on visual narratives across branding, digital design, and motion graphics, working on projects that span cultural institutions, universities, and community-driven media. I believe in culturally-grounded design that honours heritage, building identities that carry history forward rather than starting from a blank page.

My path has always been graphic design, though it deepened through a master's degree where my thesis explored vexillology, the history and significance of flags and national symbols. That research shaped how I approach identity work now: as a study of what symbols carry, and why they matter to the people who hold them.

Outside of work, I'm usually exploring a new restaurant, deep in a sci-fi novel, working through a jigsaw puzzle, or listening to Brazilian music.
