ABOUT
I’m Pedro Kuperman, born in New York and based in Rio de Janeiro. As a graphic designer, I have a passion for storytelling through design, creating projects that are not only visually appealing but also communicate a message effectively. I have served as the graphic design manager of Osklen for four years, leading the creative team. Previously, I worked as a graphic designer at Osklen for eleven years, growing from junior to senior and as a freelancer working with clients from various sectors, such as fashion, food, and entertainment. I have a bachelor's degree in graphic design from PUC Rio University.
My photography projects have been exhibited at festivals and cultural centers in several countries, including Image Festival Amman (Jordan, 2022), Les Rencontres d’Arles (France, 2019), PhotoVisa (Russia, 2019), and FotoRio (Brazil, 2018). The Photolucida Festival (USA) selected me as one of the Top 50 Critical Mass photographers of 2021.
In my free time, you can find me swimming in the sea or playing my guitar.
