Hi, I’m Sofia — a multidisciplinary designer from Porto Salvo, Portugal, with a passion for printmaking, ceramics, and visual storytelling. My practice spans serigraphy, linocut, illustration, and packaging, always rooted in craft and experimentation. I enjoy creating identities and experiences through editorial design, product packaging, and custom gifts. I value sustainability, character, and user-centered thinking, and I'm excited to collaborate on projects that blend craft with contemporary design.
