Graphics

coming from a fine arts background

I ventured into the realm of graphic design

realizing that I had found my passion. 

Ever since that I’ve been on a pursuit to

refine my craft and uncover the nuances of design

Born 1998 in Portugal,

based in The Netherlands since 2016

  • As Senior Creative at &Gagement, I was responsible for guiding the full creative process from start to finish. I translated strategies and ideas into strong visual concepts while overseeing both internal and client-facing projects. With a broad skill set, I worked across UX/UI, motion, stills, and campaigns.

    During my time there, &Gagement made the strategic decision to fully commit to strategy, consultancy, and an offline-focused direction, which meant they phased out their in-house design activities. Before this shift, my role covered:

    • Developing and executing creative concepts for both internal and external projects
    • Designing visual communication in a wide range of formats: stills, advertising, motion design, and UX/UI
    • Contributing to both internal branding and client campaigns
    • Collaborating on strategy and creative direction within projects
    • Applying my skills flexibly across different media and platforms – from social content to digital applications
    • Ensuring a consistent and impactful visual style across all projects

    • Full Rebranding
    • Creation of all brand-assets and guidelines, such as templates and a Brandbook
    • Management of the graphics team
    • Creation of internal branding for multiple projects, maintaining the brand look and feel
    • Mesh and Texture creation and re-creation for multiple 3D objects for use "in-game"

    • Creation of the look-and-feel for all UI elements
    • Front-end work on various scripts, backing the dev work

  • Social Media Design Intern
