Hi, I’m Rita 👋 A designer from Portugal who’s been hopping around the world for the last 12 years — from Malaysia to Germany, the UK, and Denmark — and now back in sunny Lisbon. I split my time between graphic and motion design, creating everything from sleek marketing assets to animated videos (yes, I’ve made ads for Meta and global campaigns, but I also love bringing ideas to life for smaller, fun projects). I’m big on clear visuals, playful storytelling, and designs that actually connect with people. If you’re looking for someone who can adapt fast, bring international experience, and add a spark of motion to your graphics (or graphics to your motion!), let’s chat.
