Automotive design & CMF projects shipped in the Brazilian market
One year Internship at Mitsubishi Motors Brasil
2025 - 2026
HPE Automotores has been the official representative for Mitsubishi Motors in Brazil since 1998.
Since then, they have created unique special series’ with real cult followings, available only in the Brazilian market.
The Triton Savana
Designed for the adventure-seekers
The Savana emphasizes rugged character and adventure-oriented details, combining functional accessories with a distinctive visual identity shaped by local culture. It’s a project rooted in Savana’s history, but reinterpreted through a contemporary lens focused on exploration and everyday utility.
My Key Contributions:
Ideation
Collaborated with design and engineering leadership to create and refine exterior accessories in line with the vehicle’s adventure-focused positioning.
Visualization
Developed early-stage visual identity proposals, using high-quality visualization to support internal exploration and decision-making.
Exterior CMF
Supported design decisions related to proportions, textures, finishes and color of emblems, decals, and trim elements.
The Triton Terra
Designed for the heartland
The Terra was inspired by and built for Brazil's farmers and ranchers. Where most special editions lean into off-road aggression, the Terra takes the direction of refined materials, considered details, and an identity rooted in the culture and aesthetic of Brazil's vast agro world. Designed and manufactured right in the heartland of Brazil, this pickup truck knows where it belongs.
My Key Contributions:
Exploration
Created physical and digital inspiration boards for design clinics, compiling mood references, leather and texture samples, and colorway explorations.
Exterior CMF
Explored exterior color and trim direction, including panel paint breakdowns, stripe placement, rim finish options, badge placement, and bumper and grille finish options.
Interior CMF
Ideated and designed seat pattern design, leather selection, color matching, and material coordination across surfaces, working closely with suppliers.
The Triton Savana Sertões
Designed for the competitive spirit
The Savana Sertões builds on the foundation the Savana created and pushes it further, bringing the name of the largest off-road competition in the Americas to the model, Rally dos Sertões. The result is an adventure-ready character with a bolder visual identity and competition-inspired details.
My Key Contributions:
Ideation & Visualization
Developed early-stage visual identity proposals, using high-quality visualization to support internal exploration and decision-making.
Exterior CMF
Explored exterior color and trim direction, including panel paint breakdowns, decal and badge placement, rim finish options, and bumper and grille finish options.
Graphic Elements
Designed concepts for decal designs and placement locations, both on hood and sides of vehicle.
