Available to hire
Hello! I’m Ana Cantanhede, a recent graduate in Communication Design from the Academy of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. I believe in a collaborative, multidisciplinary creative practice and in learning from peers, valuing conversations that strengthen both concept and craft.
I aim to balance a solid conceptual base with a contemporary, meaningful graphic response, and I enjoy working with teams to turn ideas into engaging visuals. I’m drawn to drawing and lyric singing, and I bring curiosity and a healthy, student-centered energy to every project.
