About

Hello! I’m Mariana Valente, a designer and illustrator based in Aveiro, Portugal. I run Cianoillustration, a brand I created in 2020, offering illustration design for stamping and printing across a variety of products, plus branding, logotypes, packaging, labels and social media content. I work in both manual and digital illustration to help brands tell their stories with cohesive visuals.

I pursue freelance work with curiosity and a friendly, collaborative approach. My background spans product design, branding, and 3D printing projects, and I enjoy turning concepts into practical, print-ready art and engaging visuals for events and products.
