Nice to meet you!
☼
Hey there! I’m a designer born in the charming town of Viseu and currently creating magic 🔮 in Porto.
Ever since I could hold a pencil, drawing became my superpower — challenge me to sketch anything, and you’ll have it in minutes! My heart beats for portraits and illustrations, thanks to a deep love for Renaissance and Impressionism aesthetics, Milton Glaser and the iconic vibes of Malika Favre.
Creativity is my happy place, and I’ve worn many hats: graphic designer, brand builder, and web design adventurer. These days, you’ll find me designing for INOVA+ and working with European Commission projects.
I’ve got a degree in Design from the University of Aveiro, plus a master’s in Industrial and Product Design from the University of Porto. My geeky side also shines through my work in music therapy design — yup, I’ve even published papers on it!
When I’m not designing, you’ll probably catch me singing, songwriting, or bringing illustrations to life. Basically, if it involves creativity, I’m all in! 🎨 🎵
