I'm a creative graphic designer with 6 years of experience, focused on branding and art direction. Born in the Azores and currently based in Lisbon, I bring a multicultural perspective from studying and working in Lisbon, Milan, and Barcelona. I thrive at the intersection of creativity and strategy, crafting brand identities and visual narratives that connect with people. Outside of work I love sports, wellbeing, cooking, and balancing life by the sea.
