Clara Candelot is a freelance illustrator based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A Latin American Design Awards Young Talent 2025, she has built a client roster spanning global media, technology, and entertainment brands including Google, Disney, Netflix, LIZZO, Nickelodeon, Amazon, Prime Video, Nubank, and Globoplay. Her practice spans brand identity illustration systems, editorial illustration, and pattern design for Brazilian and international clients.

Candelot's declared approach is unafraid of "too many colors, details, and contrast - I'm more afraid of lacking them." Her editorial maximalism reads loudly in digital, print, and product contexts. The portfolio features vibrant, high-contrast illustration with ornate linework and strong colour saturation. Pattern work in her portfolio appears primarily in institutional branding and product sticker contexts rather than standalone repeat designs.

Candelot works digitally, producing vector and raster illustration for screen and print. Her project range includes identity illustration systems, editorial illustration, poster design, lettering, and pattern design. Specific software is not documented; commercial output at this scale typically implies Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop workflows. She is represented by an agent for project enquiries.

Candelot serves Brazilian and international entertainment, media, technology, and consumer brand clients. Documented commissions include:

• Gupy brand identity - 20-illustration system, with Estúdio Barca + FutureBrand (2025)
• Globoplay institutional pattern series (2019)

Candelot's trajectory moves from student project recognition (LAD 2022, MULTI) through growing commercial commissions in Brazilian media and tech (Globoplay 2019; Netflix 2021; Nubank, 99Pay 2023-2024) to international brand work and industry recognition (LAD Young Talents 2025). She received four Latin American Design Awards: Young Talents 2025; Festivalzinho 2025 (Illustration - Integrated); YITTY Pride Collection Stickers 2024 (Illustration - Digital); MULTI 2022 (Digital - Student).

The portfolio features decorative illustration systems with pattern applications in branding and product contexts - sticker sheets, identity motifs, and editorial compositions. The Globoplay institutional pattern series (2019) is the most directly SPD-format project documented. The portfolio features product-applied illustration work across print and digital contexts.
