14 years shaping brands.
From concept to shelf.
I’ve been working in the industry since 2011, shaping brands, packaging, and digital interfaces with clarity and intent. I began my career in Portugal, collaborating with a range of agencies and design studios that helped ground my process and sharpen my eye.
Over the years, my work has crossed borders, partnering with teams and brands from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Belgium, and France. From local studios to international brands, I’ve brought the same focus to every project: design that feels thoughtful, balanced, impactful and made to last.
