Available to hire
I am Rita Costa, a visual artist and designer with over 25 years of experience in graphic design, branding, and editorial print and digital communication. I excel at creating brand identities and leading multidisciplinary projects with meticulous attention to detail and a focus on high-quality visual solutions.
I also teach art courses for adults and children, and I have collaborated with clients such as Porto Editora, Beira Douro, and municipal entities, developing campaigns, websites, and social media content. I remain curious about new visual languages and continually seek opportunities to grow as a designer and mentor.
