About me

Hi, I am Barbara! I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer passionate about creating solutions to challenging problems, considering people’s interaction the main guideline to good communication and design. Trying to make a difference, I am looking for challenges that can constantly make me think, learn and improve as designer and human being. Besides design, I do enjoy food, Port wine, to be near the sea, Christmas, dogs, play jenga, summer and a good laugh. Feel free to get in touch even if is just to say hello!
