CRAFTING VISUAL IDENTITIES, ILLUSTRATIONS, AND DIGITAL
EXPERIENCES WITH CLARITY AND PERSONALITY.
Long story short
Born and raised in the shore line, nestled between the worlds of surf and art, earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Arts and Master’s Degree in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto.
I have initially ventured into clothing brand illustration and later transitioned to agencies, specializing in branding, illustration, packaging, and wine label design. At the heart of my approach is the fusion of creativity and technology.
Whether I’m building a brand from the ground up or reimagining existing ones, I strive to create solutions that are not only visually compelling but also strategically driven.
What I can do
- Brand Strategy
- By combining creativity with insight-driven planning, I create designs that not only look great but also communicate a brand’s purpose and values effectively. I develop strategic and cohesive brand identities that align with business goals and captivate target audiences.
- Graphic Design
- I approach graphic design as both a craft and a way to solve problems. I work across branding, illustration, editorial and digital design, using each discipline as a tool to shape ideas with intention. By combining creativity and strategy, I create visual solutions that are both meaningful and made to last.
- Branding
- Branding is where I found the perfect balance between strategy and creativity. It’s more than just a logo, it’s about building meaning, shaping perception, and creating systems that people can connect with. I approach each brand with a strategic mindset and a designer’s perspective, crafting identities that are rooted in purpose and built to evolve.
- Web Design
- Web design and UX/UI have become a new frontier in my creative journey. I’m fascinated by how design shapes digital experiences and how thoughtful user interfaces can transform the way people interact with brands online. My focus is on creating intuitive, visually engaging websites that not only look great but also provide seamless, meaningful experiences for users, always guided by a strong sense of purpose and usability.
- Illustration
- Illustration has always been the foundation of my career, a medium that allowed me to express ideas in their purest form. It’s through illustration that I first connected with the end consumer, bringing my work to life in ways that resonate on a personal level. Whether for branding, editorial, or product design, illustration continues to be my way of adding depth, personality, and storytelling to every project I touch.
