OLÁ!
I studied Communications Design (BA) and Typography & Edition (MA) at the University of Lisbon’s Faculty of Arts, and have applied my skills in a variety of creative and commercial outlets.
design
Between 2017 and 2022 I was part of the communications team of the largest division of RE/MAX in the Iberian Peninsula, RE/MAX Latina. While there, I managed web design and print, office design and decoration, and web application development. In my current role, I continue working closely with national and international companies, building brand books, online content and platforms, and more.
radio
From 2009 to 2020 I worked at RADAR, Lisbon’s premiere independent radio station, where I hosted live shows, produced content, and built the radio’s online identity. Now I'm part of the independent radio FUTURA: Rádio de Autor where I host a show every tuesdays and wednesdays afternoon, and I was also responsible for the image of the project.
publishing
In 2017 I self published the book 30 anos 8 dias (30 Years, 8 Days), a project that documents the lives of 13 young adults as they turn 30. In March of 2022, I edited my second book, “8 Dias em 2020” (8 Days in 2020), which tells the story of 2020 through two dozen diaries. I have also collaborated with various publications, including Wrong Wrong Magazine, Brotéria, and Tropor Magazine by Abysmo.

LINES AND DOTSThe Letters have no longer a semantic function, they are plastic elements. Letters are lines and dots.
The Letter is a monument, or just a mere element repeated to exhaustion, it’s a pattern. Letters are lines and dots.
