I’m a graphic designer in Lisbon. I make brand identities, editorial work, apps and things that move.

Before design, I spent ten years as a marketing technology consultant in Prague and Oslo. I built the campaigns, journeys and systems that designs end up living in.

What I make

Brand identity

A brand that reclaims a Portuguese slur. Name, logo system, brand book, packaging, and a campaign where every ad agrees with you about the wrong thing.

Paneleirices →

Editorial and print

A magazine about Anjos, the neighborhood I live in. The color palette comes from the fossil shells inside Lisbon’s limestone. Most readers won’t notice. That’s fine.

Bairros →

UX/UI

An app for the moment you know what would help but can’t remember to do it. Seven interviews, four flows, one clickable prototype. No account, no streaks, nothing saved.

Pausa →

Animations

Stop motion, 2D and 3D animation.

What I bring from before

Clients and briefs

Ten years delivering for banks, telecoms, media, a charity, a cruise line and the public sector. I’ve run the workshops, written the requirements and sat through the feedback rounds. I am comfortable with dealing with clients.

Testing with people

I designed and ran usability tests. I’ve also A/B tested sales flows. I’d rather watch someone use a thing than guess.

What’s under the screen

I’ve set up CRM systems, customer journeys, email templates and HTML campaigns, working between developers and content owners. When I design something, I know what has to be built behind it.
