Design Can Be a Top Global Career, But The Old Way Don't Work Anymore.

I was working non-stop, then got a job offer for $300. (Yes, seriously.) Something had to change.

In 2014, after 5 years running my design studio and barely making $1,300 a month, Rio’s economy crashed. I shut down the studio.

The job offer I got made me rethink everything. My last hope seemed to be a public job in Brasilia for $2,000 a month. On the test day, something clicked. I deliberately failed the test and walked out. I was done settling—I was going to succeed as a Designer.

Today, I live in Spain with my family, working remotely for top companies in New York, California, London, and across Europe. I achieved what I never thought possible: a six-figure salary of $159,500 a year.

What changed? I did.

Companies like Google pay up to $500,000 a year for top Designers. But getting there takes more than just talent.

Hey! I’m Felipe, Founder of Aela

Becoming a Designer wasn’t easy—I’ve faced challenges I never imagined. But my passion for design and creativity kept me going.

With over 17 years of experience, I’ve seen the highs and lows. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked globally, living in Dublin, Prague, and London. Now, I’m based in a small beach town in Spain, working remotely with teams in the Bay Area, London, and New York.

My mission with Aela is simple: to help you achieve design success and the salary you deserve, faster and more effectively.

Together, we’ll unlock your potential and take your career to the next level.
