Hello, I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself. I’m Raquel, a graphic designer with over fifteen years of experience. I studied and trained in both Portugal and Spain, and after several years as an in-house designer, I took the leap into freelancing in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients from around the world, always focusing on creative solutions that meet the unique needs of each project. I believe that clear communication and collaboration are key to any successful project, and I’m passionate about getting deeply involved, especially in projects that have a strong purpose behind them.
