Real Eats: 18th-Century Portuguese Azulejo Delivery Chronicles

As a Portuguese creator, I wanted to celebrate the iconic blue-and-white glazed tile heritage that defines our historic streets while constructing a humorous, anachronistic visual narrative: "Real Eats".

The inspiration:

https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/object/Tegeltableau-ANNO-1707--28e7865a525235fb89cf1c429a8ff99c

(which apparently was made in Amsterdam but for the Portuguese market)

Using Recraft, I created a custom style based on the original hand-painted cobalt tiles to produce a cohesive 7-part chronicle depicting an 18th-century aristocrat casuaally ordering takeout on his smartphone, awaiting their courier, tipping in coin pouches, and discovering their order was botched, meaning they received someone else's fast-food delivery.

The resulting series bridges three centuries of ceramic craftsmanship with the everyday absurdities of modern gig-economy dining (which I have close "ties" to since my husband drives for Uber Eats and other delivery apps, so I've heard ALL the stories!)

Also, I was only able to attach the inspo image and the first 3 of this series below, will add the rest as a comment below 👇

Day 600 of building my own business is still frightening.

With no experience whatsoever, I started my own Webflow studio in March 2025.

Since then it's been 600 days of: Anxiety Optimism Impostor syndrome Success Failure Failure Failure Success Success Believing Doubting Excitement

And everything in between.

Now I'm working with clients all over the world. I'm building Webflow sites. I'm working on a web app for musicians as a product owner. I'm building my own digital product for solopreneurs.

It's still frightening. But most of all, I've never felt more free and satisfied.

I'm still looking for work, though. To be completely honest, I really need some work as of right now. If you need a Webflow developer or UX designer, I would love to talk.

Respect for sharing the hard parts too. Hope the right projects come in soon.
