Portuguese designer and illustrator. Science fiction enthusiast and bird lover. Casual chess player, core gamer, and full-time everyday-things jingle producer. Amateur at all things, except for work (in case you’re a client reading this).
I studied Communication Design at the School of Fine Arts of the University of Porto and attended an Illustration and Visual Storytelling programme at AKV St. Joost in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. For the past decade, I’ve been working across Illustration, Animation and Ceramics, as well as Graphic, Editorial and Web Design. Currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Literary, Cultural and Interartistic Studies at the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto.
Co-editor, co-writer and founder of aguça magazine (2021-) and founding partner of asteróide fértil — Cultural Association (2023-) and estúdio minúsculo (2025-).
