Christian da Rosa

Bio

Christian Bruno Barbosa Faria da Rosa was born on 16 November 1993 in Praia, the capital of Cape Verde. Growing up among the rhythms, colours and stories of the islands shaped both his character and his way of seeing the world. From an early age, he showed a natural drive to create. That curiosity led him to design and advertising, where he began his professional path in 2013. Over the years he has earned a reputation as one of Cape Verde’s leading creative directors, self‑taught, persistent, and willing to take risks to grow. Christian has worked with major organisations such as the United Nations, the Government of Cape Verde, CVMA, Miss International CV, L’Oréal Paris Foundation, Meta Group and Casio Watches. Each project sharpened his skills and expanded his vision, proving his ability to adapt and deliver in different cultural and professional settings. He speaks French, Portuguese and English, and works confidently across borders. His toolkit, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, Acrobat Pro, is second nature to him, but what stands out most is the way he thinks about design: stepping into a client’s perspective and translating ideas into visuals that feel genuine. In 2015 he co‑founded GetItSocial Media, a space created to inspire and share knowledge that could help move Africa forward. Three years later he launched CDR Projectos, focusing on communication strategies shaped by identity as much as by objectives. In 2019 he took on the role of Creative Director at Bea Blondin Agency (BeaBa) in Senegal, leading work in communication consulting, press relations and events. In 2024, he founded Identidadi, a Cape Verde–based agency built on a simple belief: brands connect best when they speak from who they are. Identidadi brings together experienced professionals to craft clear, strategic and meaningful advertising and branding solutions. Beyond work, Christian finds energy in photography, music and live events. These passions often spark ideas for his projects, but sometimes they’re just ways to step back, breathe, and enjoy the world he’s helping to shape.
