Angelica Belmonte
Graphic Designer
Ever since I was a child, I have always loved art and spent a great deal of my time drawing. This passion led me to pursue a Graphics Design degree in São Paulo, Brazil, where I’m from. In 2001, I began working as an IT consultant, creating websites in HTML and Flash for several customers. In 2004 I joined the IT and Communications department of Alcoa Aluminum Brazil.
At Alcoa, I have been responsible for creating the company’s visual identity, developing images for digital and print media as well as producing training materials, presentations, animations and video tutorials. During my time at the company, I have worked with colleagues from many different countries and backgrounds, which helped me learn and grow as a designer. I was also able to develop my abilities as a teacher, training my co-workers to use some of the applications we developed.
In 2017, when Alcoa was split into separate companies, I began working with the resulting sister companies of Howmet Aerospace and Hydro Norsk Brazil.
I have continued to study throughout my career, taking every opportunity to learn and develop myself.
In 2020, I moved to Norway, where I am working on improving my language skills and building a network.
