CBMM × CITIC Metal
Brand and event materials for CBMM, the Brazilian niobium producer, and CITIC Metal, its partner in China. About 70 requests across two internships at Valtech, most of them for WeChat, trade shows and on-site events. The brand book, with its colors, type and logos, belongs to the client, and this page is laid out inside it.

Beijing, April 2025
From one key visual to the whole venue
CITIC Metal and CBMM's annual R&D report meeting in Beijing. I designed the key visual from the client's brand assets, then carried it into more than ten on-site pieces in about five weeks: the LED wall, roll-up banners, place cards, a KT board, meal cards, meeting guides in Chinese and English, and the livestream cover.
Six rounds before the final. The city photo gave way to white line drawings of the CITIC tower, wind turbines, a bridge and a train.

Invitations for a battery trade show
My first request when I came back as a remote intern: the stand CBMM and CITIC Metal shared at CIBF 2026 in Shenzhen. A long invitation page for WeChat, an invitation card that went through several rounds, and a cover banner.

ICNBB 2026 · ANMA 2026
Two niobium conferences
Working from the client's key visual
Both conferences came with a key visual from the client. My part was the layouts in Chinese and English, every size the channels needed, and the long pages for WeChat. The ICNBB layouts went to 26 versions, with a new artboard for each round of feedback named after what changed. When an ad platform turned the ads down over the CITIC trademark, I made a version of every size without the CITIC logo.
For ANMA, the agenda arrived as a PDF. I rebuilt it in Figma in Chinese and English instead of editing the file.

NBXCELER
Niobium oxide for batteries
One product, two years
NBXCELER is CBMM's battery-grade niobium oxide. I made a WeChat cover for it in 2025 and came back to it in 2026 for a poster series, print ads and social sizes. I generated the battery and material images with GPT and composited them into the brand's layouts.
The client chose the version with a transparent battery in the middle, cathode above and anode below. The bottom section I reworked for the A4 ad was kept in the version the team in Brazil finalized.

Technical documents
Chinese editions
Technical content, set in Chinese
Chinese editions of CBMM's technical material: a 32-page product portfolio, a 44-page technical presentation and an 8-page white paper. Most of the work was type: mixed Chinese and English, a Chinese font that would not embed, and trademark symbols that broke in export.
I also standardized a 58-page budget deck, from 27 fonts to 2 and from 94 colors to 8, first with a script and then page by page.
