Originally from Portugal, I've graduated in Communication Design at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Lisbon University before moving to London in 2013. Although I've started in graphic design, I always had a passion for illustration and animation. Over the past eight years, I’ve been fortunate with opportunities where I was able to combine both skills.
Today I aspire to bring the combination of design and illustration to all of my projects.
I have since collaborated with global brands, agencies, animation studios, and magazines providing illustration, design, and art direction for a broad range of digital projects. My work is specialised in character design, illustration for motion, UI and branding design.
Projects
- Let's RiseIn a fantastic collaboration with Digitas agency and Breakfast Of Champions animation studio, we were asked to create a compelling short animated ad. The brief's goal was to raise awareness for the wellness features that Westin Hotels & Resort have to offer. I had the amazing opportunity to help with art direction and work across different stages of the project, such as storyboarding and designing the final style frames.
- Kicking Adversity In The AssA series of illustrations for Vans EMEA - Creative Director Cátia Oliveira's motivational speech. In collaboration with SheSays, Major Players hosted the event - Kicking Adversity In The Ass, in which Cátia shared her career history, her life and the crazy stuff she had to contend with along the way. The goal was to illustrate and help explain how Catia navigated unexpected obstacles and still managed to come out on top.
