I am a graphic designer with dual nationality: I'm Portuguese and Brazilian, 
+15 years of experience in the creative industry, where visual communication, branding, and  UX UI (this one since 2023) are central to my work. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design with a specialisation in Graphic Design (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), a postgraduate degree in Web UX/UI Design from IADE – Universidade Europeia (Lisbon, Portugal), and I am currently completing a specialisation in Web Front-End, also at IADE, studing HTML, CSS and Javascript.

​

Throughout my career, I have worked in different contexts — including press and media (Jornal O DIA), communication agencies (Porter Novelli Group), the public sector (Rio de Janeiro City Hall), and education institution (FGV). I have also taken on leadership and mentoring roles, working closely with multidisciplinary teams. More recently, I have been working with Radix, a technology and engineering company, developing  graphic design and UX UI projects for clients in the oil and gas and energy industries.

​

My work focuses mainly on graphic design, branding, visual identity,digital design and UX/UI projects. I also work with motion graphics and animation, video editing, infographics, and commercial presentations, always aiming to communicate ideas in a clear, visual, and engaging way.

​

I have international experience as a digital nomad and have lived in several European countries, including Portugal, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands. I also lived in London, UK, during an English language exchange programme in 2012. I am currently based in Lisbon, Portugal, my new home.
