Our Team

The Universe Stuff may have begun as one person’s vision, but it continues to grow through the creativity, dedication, and care of an incredible team.

Each person brings something unique to the business—from supporting the day-to-day work behind the scenes to shaping how our ideas, experiences, and offerings come to life. Together, we are building a brand that feels intentional, personal, and deeply connected to the people we serve.

Renata Portes

Founder & Wellness Guide

Renata is the founder and heart behind The Universe Stuff. As a wellness guide, Reiki Master, intuitive practitioner, and creative entrepreneur, she brings together holistic wellness, meaningful experiences, and thoughtfully created products designed to help people reconnect with themselves.

She leads the vision of the brand, develops its services and products, facilitates individual and corporate wellness experiences, and—most importantly—continues finding new ways to bring a little more intention, connection, and magic into everyday life.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find Renata riding her motorcycle, paddleboarding, playing with her cats, traveling around the world, or dreaming up her next project.

Lyn Yanson

Executive & Business Operations

Lyn has been Renata’s right—and left—hand for more than a year, supporting both the day-to-day details and the bigger vision behind The Universe Stuff.

From keeping projects organized to helping manage the many moving pieces happening behind the scenes, her reliability, care, and constant support make an enormous difference in everything we do. She is the kind of person who helps turn ideas into action and makes growth feel a little less overwhelming.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find Lyn spending time with her family, playing with her pets, exploring different places, or finding simple ways to make everyday life more fun.

Thiago Souza

Visual Design & Brand Creative

Thiago is responsible for bringing The Universe Stuff’s ideas to life visually.

He creates the designs for our social media content as well as printed materials such as business cards, brochures, signs, and promotional pieces. He is also the creative mind behind the design and visual presentation of our ebooks and digital resources.

Through his work, Thiago helps ensure that everything we share feels cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably connected to The Universe Stuff.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find Thiago looking up new recipes and cooking something delicious, playing games with friends, or enjoying a barbecue and a cold beer.

Iago Faustino

Marketing Strategy & Video Production

Iago is the newest member of our growing team and is responsible for developing the marketing strategy behind our social media presence.

He also leads the video side of our marketing—from planning content and developing ideas to helping us communicate our message in a more engaging and dynamic way.

His strategic perspective is helping The Universe Stuff show up more consistently, connect with new audiences, and share the heart behind the brand through powerful content.

Outside of work, you’ll probably find Iago at the gym early in the morning, getting lost in a good book, finding new inspiration, exploring new places, talking about brands, or dreaming up his next project.
