I develop structured and coherent communication, often across complex, long-term projects in institutional and corporate contexts. I have worked in studios, agencies, and independent practice, gaining experience across a range of scales and areas of design. I studied Communication Design at ESAD – School of Arts and Design of Matosinhos (2000), and later completed a Master’s degree in Design at the University of Aveiro. I began my career at Creatif Communication Studio, where I led the design department and worked on projects for Emi Valentim de Carvalho and Visionarium. I later worked at Godesign Communication Studio, while also teaching at Alquimia da Cor Training Centre, developing projects for Sonae SGPS and Sonae Indústria. I continued at Sino Design and Transformadora, focusing on branding and leading design teams across projects such as the Metro do Porto signage programme, CVRVDÃO’s centennial commemoration, and the EGP-UPBS identity strategy.

● By invitation, I joined Starlight, where my work focuses on the Spaceship project — a digital platform built from the ground up to simplify and structure the management of an online presence, bringing together domains, hosting and digital services into a single, integrated system — alongside additional brand and communication work for Namecheap.

Role Within the brand design team, I work in the foundations department, helping define and build the core elements of the brand. My work includes developing visual identities, product concepts and communication guidelines, as well as designing assets to ensure consistency and recognition across different touchpoints.

Role I teach courses in Graphic Design Project and Typography, with a focus on event communication, corporate and institutional signage, and type design. My teaching is project-based, guiding students through the development of visual communication systems, from posters and editorial pieces to signage and typographic work. Alongside practical work, I introduce historical and cultural context, helping students understand how design operates across different media and contemporary communication environments.

● I teach in the Graphic Design degree, a programme focused on developing professional practice in communication and graphic design. The course emphasises hands-on experience with contemporary communication technologies and encourages engagement with real-world contexts, preparing students for the evolving demands of the creative and communication industries.
