Originally from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Desiree moved to New York in 2007, after living abroad in Israel for six months, where she taught young children the arts of Capoeira, to pursue her career in fashion design.
Her passion for arts, music and dancing led her to switch paths along the way. After aquiring her first computer, she developed a great interest in Photoshop and photography. Her attention to detail led her to master the art of photo retouching for weddings and head shots. Having friends in the graphic area, she felt inclined to pursue a degree in media and arts.
RAWR. was formed in the winter of 2015 by Desiree Brava. She started working in projects to create and develop brand strategies, websites, wedding retouches, and advertisements. Based in New York, Rawr. is a creative studio focused on culture, photography, editorial and art. It pitches itself as being somewhere between sophistication and simplicity.
