About

I’m Diogo Fernandes, a multidisciplinary creative based in Câmara de Lobos, Madeira, combining video editing, 2D animation, motion graphics, and graphic design to tell clear, engaging visual stories. I’ve worked with creators, artists, and organizations to produce edited videos, chroma-key assets, sound and visual effects, and hand-drawn animation content for online audiences and international clients.

I also enjoy experimenting with AI-assisted workflows to support ideation, asset generation, and audio/voice production, while keeping a strong design foundation and a practical, deadline-focused approach. Alongside freelance work, I’ve supported European startup events in Madeira and created advertising and product design materials, and I’ve developed independent game projects recognized on platforms like Newgrounds and Steam.
