I am Catarina Rego Martins, a graphic designer and art director who works between Amsterdam, Milan, and the Azores. My practice centers on experimentation and fashion, using graphic design as a lens to challenge perception and open alternative viewpoints. I am fascinated by typography and the understated beauty in the ordinary. Ready to collaborate on bold visual identities and campaigns, I bring a hands-on approach to concept, branding, and multi-channel production, with a focus on storytelling and meaningful visual communication.
