About me

Hello, I’m Maria Almeida, a Portuguese girl, and I have recently finished my degree in Graphic Design at Elisava. As a graphic designer I consider myself as being creative, committed, observer, and very meticulous. I am focused on bringing aesthetically pleasing designs who tell a story. I have a particular interest for Editorial and Art Direction. Other than designing I enjoy fashion, photography, cooking and cinema. I’m always eager to learn about something new.
