I'm Marta Rosas de Oliveira, a Communication Designer based in Aveiro, Portugal, with 17 years of experience in fashion and lifestyle brands. I lead the full creative cycle—from concept, research, and moodboarding through campaign execution to final delivery—prioritising visual coherence, craft, and clear reasoning behind the image. Outside of employed work, I run independent projects in brand identity and visual storytelling (Barro, Teatro Pirata, RUN) and maintain a practice in calligraphy and figurative drawing. I’m actively planning my relocation and seeking a role that will enable me to bring cross-media experience into a new creative context, potentially abroad (Barcelona is on my radar).
