About

Hi, I’m João Telmo Parreira, a visual communicator from Porto, Portugal, born in 1989 under the Gemini sign. I split my time between Munich, Berlin and Porto, collaborating sometimes worldwide on concept and branding, print and illustration, editorial typography, photography, and motion. I love to explore ideas and connect with people who care about meaningful work. Fail, fail more, fail better.

I’ve done a lot —art director, designer, photographer, even worked as an actor and barista —always driven by storytelling, creating for an audience but mostly, communicating. I’m still hungry to experiment, focus on what matters and to keep growing by trying new things.
