Hi, I’m Olga—an illustrator and graphic designer based in Porto, bringing multidisciplinary visual design skills to fashion, textile, and product applications. I translate client briefs into clear visual concepts, then develop the work from early research and collection development through to final artwork. I’m especially drawn to illustration, surface/pattern design, and Brazilian/Amazonian cultural references, where detail and storytelling matter. I enjoy direct client collaboration, refining ideas through feedback and revisions, and managing multiple projects and deadlines while keeping the creative process organized and focused.…Hi, I’m Olga—an illustrator and graphic designer based in Porto, bringing multidisciplinary visual design skills to fashion, textile, and product applications.
