Nice to meet you!

  • Over the course of my 10-year-long career I’ve been lucky to work with clients such as Adobe, Spotify, Petite B&Bs, Venu, Slow Growth, Madpizza, Parea Books, Designaid, among many others.

    I studied Graphic & Web Design at ETIC (Lisbon, Portugal), and, funnily enough, came back there as a mentor a few years later.

    In 2016 I participated in Behance Portfolio Reviews, and to my big surprise, became one of the 3 finalists.

    A year later I joined forces with one of the most beloved design studios in Lisbon — SK Studio Collective — and led their creative team as the art director, overseeing designers and copywriters, leading branding projects, and mentoring interns.

    In 2020 I was selected to be part of Adobe Creative Residency Programme to review submitted portfolios and guide participants, which sparked interest in teaching, and led to hosting a number of workshops and lectures on design and design business.
