The Artist
Tacila Freitas
Tacila is a renowned print designer hailing from the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Over the years, she has collaborated with a diverse range of Brazilian brands, both large and small, earning recognition for her distinct mastery of colours and shapes.
Tacila's journey took a unique turn after welcoming her first baby boy. Returning to work became challenging, as it was equally difficult to stay connected to her creative essence. It was the collaboration with by Femina that provided Tacila with the perfect opportunity to not only reignite her creative spark, which resonated with her evolving lifestyle, but also to cultivate a fresh portfolio. By Femina is proud of supporting Tacila on showcasing her art and exceptional talent to the world.
