CACÁ BARABÁS

DESIGN DIRECTOR FOR APPLE AT TBWA\MAL LOS ANGELES




































    ABOUT


    HEY, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. MY NAME IS CACÁ BARABÁS AND I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN BRAZIL, NOW BASED IN LOS ANGELES. I’M A MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGNER AND ART DIRECTOR WITH 13+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CRAFTING BRAND IDENTITIES, EDITORIAL SYSTEMS, AND VISUAL NARRATIVES ACROSS MARKETS IN BOTH SOUTH AND NORTH AMERICA.

    THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, I’VE WORKED AT AGENCIES LIKE WIEDEN+KENNEDY, AFRICA DDB, F/NAZCA SAATCHI&SAATCHI, CREATIVE LAB/NUBANK, AND MULLENLOWE DESIGN STUDIO. RECENTLY, I BECAME A DESIGN DIRECTOR AT TBWA\MEDIA ARTS LAB, WHERE I’LL HELP SHAPE GLOBAL WORK FOR APPLE — A BRAND I’VE ADMIRED FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. ALONG THE WAY, I’VE CREATED FOR NAMES LIKE NIKE, BUDWEISER, CORONA, SPRITE, OLD SPICE, NAKED JUICE, PUMA, SKOL, AND THE ART DIRECTORS CLUB.

    DESIGN HAS ALWAYS BEEN MORE THAN A JOB FOR ME — IT’S A TRUE PASSION. CRAFT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. I CARE ABOUT THE PROCESS, THE DETAILS, AND THE IMPACT GOOD DESIGN CAN HAVE. I’M DRAWN TO TEAMS AND PROJECTS THAT SHARE THIS SAME OBSESSIVE LOVE FOR MAKING THINGS WELL — AND MAKING THEM MATTER. IF THAT RESONATES WITH YOU, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT. I’M ALWAYS UP FOR A GOOD CONVERSATION.
