Multidisciplinary Graphic Designer and Art Director based in Porto, Portugal. Holds a degree in Communication Design from FBAUP. Works full-time at a design studio and part-time as a freelancer, catering to a wide range of clients. Since the beginning of 2015, I have been involved in a wide array of graphic design projects, spanning from print to digital, with a particular expertise in all things print and graphic production, including paper/material selection, printing methods, and several finishing techniques, with a recent emphasis on sustainable choices in my design work. My primary experience lies in Branding and Packaging projects, but I've also ventured into various other design domains, such as Editorial Design, Infographics, Beverage Labeling, Naming, Environments, Signage, Exhibition Design, Motion Graphics, and Web Design. In recent times, I have incorporated photography as a complementary element to my graphic design and visual identity work, as exemplified in the majority of the projects I present, featuring photos I have taken. Always striving to enhance my skills and absorb knowledge from my surroundings to develop more solid ideas and stronger concepts.
