Like all Graphic Designers, I could tell you I'm creative, deadline/budget-oriented, an Adobe/Figma Ninja. I won't go there. What I can tell you is that I have good friends in all the places I've worked and that some of my clients come already from a third generation of recommendations.
My most recent love is UX/UI Design.
With a Masters in Multimedia, I have lived and worked in Portugal, Spain, Macau (China) and Belgium.
Working on Digital Formats is my comfort zone; I get excited at the challenge of designing for Events, Exhibitions and Weddings; Posters and Branding put a smile on my face. Social projects in permaculture, circular economy, gender equity or crochet make my heart skip a beat.
Drop me a note if you want to meet, work, collaborate, brunch, couchsurf or just stand in the sun with me.
I finished my Master's Degree in Multimedia Communication at the University of Aveiro, Portugal in 2009. I then moved to Macau (China) and started working as a Designer at a start-up: Waaa! Studio. When the company was restructured after two years, I became Senior Designer at FRC Global Communication, working mainly in Graphic Design, Video and the Web. In 2013 I moved to Lisbon, Portugal and I started working at Brief Creatives where I stayed for two very happy years.
After the last years of intense city life I took a chance and went to learn about Permaculture and a greener way of living in Greece and Belgium through the European Voluntary Service. That program took a year and it finished in September of 2017 after which I hitch hiked my way back to Portugal from Belgium.
Then I moved back to Belgium looking for a balance between city life and a greener environment. I started working for short periods in companies all over Flanders while I kept freelancing and finding some social engagement in the local community (check how I started making beanies for homeless refugees in Brussels). I then landed a job with a Mental Coach where I worked for 2 years in which I was challenged to work one brand from head to toe while also learning about the impact the right mindset can have on your life.
Now I moved back to Portugal, already did a 200h amazing course in UX/UI Design at EDIT and started an internship with one of the leading digital agencies in Portugal.
I really feel lucky for having such a great life.
