Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Professional Services, Education, Software & Internet
    uniE621 Newspaper First Pages
    My role involved designing the newspaper pages, with each one being a unique project where I combined typography and imagery to tell a story. For the front pages, I worked with a wide range of topics, carefully respecting the hierarchy of importance while maintaining visual balance and appeal. Ensuring that every subject was well represented was both a challenge and a joy — and I truly loved the process. Check my front pages on my website: https://www.twine.net/signin
    paper TV show | ABOLA FORA
    A Bola Fora is a TV show dedicated to interviewing Portuguese athletes living and competing abroad. The program aired live every Sunday and was also featured in the newspaper as an extended interview series. My role was to create the complete visual identity for the show, including the logo design, color palette, typography, and overall brand direction. The goal was to develop a cohesive and recognizable look that reflected both the global reach of the program and its strong connection to Portuguese sports culture. check this out on my website: https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE621 Sports live in you | APP ABOLA
    The goal of this project was to create a campaign that truly stood out. Featuring national athletes, the call to action — “Sports live in you” — connects the energy of each sport with the app’s core feature: live information. Each piece plays on a dual meaning between the sport and the app’s offering. For example, basketball and tennis use “Every point matters,” football uses “Live each goal,” and cycling uses “Don’t lose the pace.” The campaign included materials for print, social media, and the website.

    uniE621 Sports Posters
    These posters were sometimes requested for newspaper pages or social media posts. Check them out here: https://www.twine.net/signin
    uniE621 Kiddin'
    Kiddin’ is a playful café concept designed for parents to relax while their children are safely entertained in a dedicated play area. The brand’s tongue-in-cheek motto — “Take a break from your baby” (with “from your baby” humorously scratched out) — reflects its fun, honest personality. The space invites adults to unwind, featuring interactive tables and cups with witty messages that encourage stress relief through humor. My role was to develop the full visual identity based on the given brief, including the logo, color palette, and advertising materials, capturing the brand’s balance between playfulness and clever design.

    uniE621 FUNF Compass of senses | Music festival
    This project began as a personal idea — a five-day music festival where each day represents one of the five senses. Day 1 – Vision (Pop): vibrant performances and visual creativity. Day 2 – Touch (Techno): physical connection through rhythm and energy. Day 3 – Taste (Soul): rich “flavours” of music, often linked to food and atmosphere. Day 4 – Smell (Reggae): natural vibes and distinctive scents. Day 5 – Hearing (Experimental): discovering new, raw sounds and emerging artists. explore this project here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/236028841/FUNF-Compass-of-senses
    uniE621 Trishaw | Add campaign
    young volunteers with elderly people, allowing seniors to enjoy bike rides without having to pedal themselves. The concept focused on celebrating the youthful spirit in every generation — portraying older people doing “cool” and unexpected activities like surfing or getting tattoos. The campaign included street posters, social media content (posts and stories), and a playful pack of WhatsApp stickers featuring humorous illustrations of seniors doing youthful things. I was responsible for the campaign’s full visual identity — from concept and art direction to poster design, sticker pack, and social media materials.

    uniE621 Sherlock Collection
    This project involved creating a cohesive visual identity for a four-book Sherlock Holmes collection. I designed the logo for the collection and developed the editorial design for each book, including covers, chapter pages, first and last pages, and overall page layouts. A key element of the project was ensuring that all four books worked together as a unified collection — when placed side by side, they form a visually harmonious set. I was responsible for the full identity of the collection, combining typography, layout, and design elements to create a sophisticated and consistent aesthetic across all titles.

    uniE621 Faces that matter
    Faces That Matter is a design exhibition project that explores how media often glorifies serial killers, overshadowing the victims’ stories. The exhibition features a series of posters, each reimagining promotional material of infamous criminals, such as Jeffrey Dahmer, with a visual twist — the original poster is ripped to reveal the face of the real victim underneath. The project includes flyers and materials designed to extend the concept to other cases and shows, like The Ted Bundy Tapes or Monster. Through this work, the focus shifts from sensationalizing the perpetrators to honoring and giving visibility to the victims, creating a thoughtful critique of modern media culture. I was responsible for the full visual identity, poster design, and supporting materials, ensuring a cohesive and impactful presentation throughout the exhibition.
