About

I’m Inês, a graphic and textile designer based in Porto, Portugal. I create cohesive brand identities and visual assets, from logos and vector artwork to textile graphics, localized prints, and technical artwork that helps ideas move smoothly from concept to production.

With experience across fashion and event/branding projects, I enjoy researching trends, developing print concepts, and preparing detailed technical sheets, all while communicating clearly with clients and teams. I’m especially focused on pattern design, sampling support, and delivering designs that feel consistent, well-crafted, and ready for real-world use across apparel and accessories.

Gondiclinic — Visual Identity Design The brief Create a distinctive visual identity for Gondiclinic, a medical and dental clinic, combining healthcare-related symbolism with a refined, professional aesthetic.

The warm golden-yellow colour contrasts with the soft, light background, while the elegant script lettering gives the clinic’s name a more distinctive and personal character. The supporting typography, featuring the descriptor “Clínica Médica e Dentária”, clarifies the clinic’s area of activity.
