About

My work is shaped by music, art, and the many ways cultures express themselves. I draw inspiration from sensory experiences — from what is seen and heard to what is felt, observed, and remembered. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, I’m a Creative Designer with over 23 years of experience across graphic design, illustration, web, and creative experimentation. I’ve developed projects across Portugal, EMEA, the U.S., and Australia, collaborating on meaningful, high-quality work for established brands. What defines my practice is not a single discipline, but the breadth of paths I’ve explored. Working across industries has taught me to think holistically, pay close attention to detail, and value collaboration as a space for growth. Experimentation sits at the core of my process — each brief is an invitation to explore new approaches, learn something new, and create work that feels both thoughtful and alive.
