From Packaging Designer to Brand Manager. Two years scaling B-WAY across 3 markets.

I joined as a Product Designer drawing die-cuts on a bench and ended up leading a 6-person team across the US, Brazil and Argentina — building Shopify stores from zero, running Meta Ads, coaching brand educators and designing the trade-show stands we activated at Barber Week.

01 — Context

The Friction

The Challenge

The barber-tools market was stuck in corporate blacks and safe grays. B-WAY needed a visual system loud enough to disrupt it, and an operation big enough to sell it across the US, Brazil and Argentina. I started at the packaging bench — die-cuts, interior architecture, print production — and every quarter, the scope kept expanding: social design, e-commerce, campaigns, educators, events. Two years later, I was running the whole brand.

02 — The Growth Story

Four chapters, one promotion.

The scope kept compounding. Each chapter added a new discipline on top of the last — packaging, then digital, then commerce, then people. By chapter four I was leading the team that made all of it move.

Where I Started

Packaging & Social Media

Started designing packaging for the full product range and every social media asset the brand needed — coordinating production directly with the factory in China from die-cut approvals to final print.

02.5 — Packaging

Every box the brand shipped.

I designed the packaging for every B-WAY product line — die-cuts, interior architecture, print production and retail-shelf systems — coordinating production directly with the factory in China from die-cut sign-off to final print runs. I also supervised every single launch the brand rolled out from my first day through the end of 2025 — keeping the visual language consistent across the whole product range and three markets.

Shopify stores built from zero.

Architected and launched the USA, Brazil and Argentina storefronts — catalog, checkout, localized copy and payment logic — then ran them day-to-day. Scroll each preview to see the full homepage.

03 — On The Floor

Events I organized & designed.

I led the stand design, graphics, logistics and on-site build for every B-WAY activation — the local events in Argentina and the international ones in Brazil and the US. Traveled to Brazil to organize everything on the ground, assemble the stand and represent the brand on the floor alongside the educator team.
