Available to hire
Hi, I’m Angela Aragão, a designer and illustrator from Porto with a degree in General Design. I specialise in graphic design, branding, editorial design, and children’s book illustration. I have experience creating visual identities, marketing materials, product visuals, and illustrating a published children’s book from cover to final layout.
Alongside my design work, I also run my own jewellery brand and enjoy exploring photography and AI-assisted creative workflows. I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, engaging visuals and collaborating on projects that tell meaningful stories.
