I am a Portuguese Illustration with Animation graduate with
professional studies (degree) in Communication Design.
Hand drawing, gouache painting, lettering, typography,
printing workshops and patterns are things that I use a lot
in my practice.
I am a curious person so I tend to study everything I can
and I do love to learn new concepts and working methods.
My working methods are a combination of traditional
hand-drawn techniques and digital editing used to arrive at
a range of concepts mocked up to showcase their potential
use and application. My aim is to keep expanding my skills
and experience as a designer and seek opportunities to
develop my career through roles in graphic design and art
direction.
Work history

Graphic DesignerEscola Tenis da Linha
PortugalFreelance
•I redesigned the logo and image of the school, for this I had
to learn to deal with all the client's specifications by communicating
with him to better understand what they were looking for
•Studying and working at the same time allowed me to
improve my time-management skills
•Taking my degree and running this project made me extremely
organised and made me learn how to prioritize tasks
•The client many times does not want a lot of change or
wants to keep the same designs, so I had to learn how to balance
what the client is looking for with what is best for the school image
•Due to the nature of business of this client I edited many
times PowerPoint and Word documents which improved my skills
