About me
I’m a Graphic Designer, Creative Director and Researcher with over 12 years experience working for clients from all over the world, with a degree in Communication Design, an MA in Typography and Editorial Practices, and working on a PhD in Digital Media where I'm exploring design as a tool for climate change communication. I have a special love for print projects – books, magazines, branding – but I know a strong brand is an holistic one, so I also design for social media and the web to make sure all aspects of the visual language are coherent and well thought out. I believe in creative work and visual experimentation, always with the utmost professionalism.

    PhD in Digital MediaNova University
    Lisbon, Portugal
