Available to hire
Hi, I’m Inês Santos, a Communication Designer and Illustrator based in Porto, Portugal. I work with graphic and editorial design, illustration, and motion graphics, and I’m driven by how design can engage with and reflect social issues.
During my studies, I spent time abroad in Germany and Finland as part of the Master of European Design Program (MEDes). My final thesis, Editorial Design and Illustration through Intersectional Feminist Perspectives, resulted in a series of zines that explored a more just, inclusive and critical approach to design.
