About
My name is Mariana, I am from Portugal and I am currently living between Brighton, UK and Porto, Portugal. In 2014 I moved to London to do a MA in Communication Design: Illustration at Kingston University. After that I went travelling for 6 months around the world.
I am passionate about illustration and graphic design. I have always found myself on a constant search for ways of expression in my life and soon I realised my eagerness to draw, to immediately imagine drawings as a characterisation of our daily routines and to create narratives, as my expression.
My strongest skills are in communicating ideas and concepts through illustration. I have many years of experience in the publishing industry which gave me strong skills in turning words into images. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. My illustration skills range from watercolour to vector illustration and I can easily adapt to the needs of the brief.
I also do logo design, books, posters, clothing, wall and window painting, personalised illustrations, showing a coherent and diversified body of work.

This book was created to teach young children about the Geography and Culture of Portugal. It is an adaptation of the collection "Lift-the-Flap" by Usborne Publishing Ltd, in Portugal. I had to create more than 200 illustrations for the book based on my own research about each region, with guidance from the Author. The result is an amazing colourful book that makes it fun and entertaining for children to explore, learn and find little details about their own country.
