I'm a Portuguese Art Director and Designer that is currently living in Amsterdam. I have 11 years of experience, with a Master in Editorial and Corporate Identity. My core experience is in Digital, but I'm quite experienced in print too because of my first years in the industry where I worked as Finalizer Art Worker in some advertising agencies. In 2016 I made a graduation in Documentary Filmmaking in Amsterdam.
I'm a very simple person! I want very simple things in life. I want to be the best in what I do, I want to grow and show my full potential every single day! I want to play hard, work harder and I want to win! I never give up and I fight for all projects, big or small, they all matter to me if exists chances to improvement. I try to help, to teach and to learn from everyone.
I’m a very hands on person, love designing, exploring and create something beautiful and meaningful in the end. I also love the details. Things need to be pixel perfect, they need to be the best that they can be, nothing else. Premium work, that’s my goals with every project, every day.
Projects
- The Stokr ProjectLet me start by introducing STOKR: An online platform that educates, tokenizes and engages communities to connect the world’s brightest minds with the investment capital to make a better future. This project started with the creation of STOKR. Strategy, name and branding were developed. Simple and unique, strong but playful, young and confident.
- The Illustration BookThe illustration book is in reallity a collection of illustrations of mine, made to exercise an almost lost skill. In my youth I loved to draw and somehow i lost it. Not the love but the time to enjoy it. This was my attempt to go back and have fun. Drawing and converting it into digital, with simple lines and shades of colour.
