I’m Vera Mota, a 37 year old graphic designer from Porto, Portugal. My journey began with a degree in Digital Arts and Multimedia and a post-graduation in Graphic Design, which has resulted in a diverse portfolio covering advertising campaigns, editorial illustration, and children’s books. This diversity has given me a versatile design voice — one that adapts across mediums and industries. During a two-and-a-half-year chapter in Germany, I stepped into the world of fashion, creating prints and patterns for clothing brands, catalogs, and visual identities. For the past five years, I’ve been working as a freelance designer, collaborating remotely with clients and creative teams around the world. I believe great design thrives on connection — whether in a shared studio or across time zones — and that authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration are what make ideas truly resonate. Thank you for considering my application.
