From the vault: Logo Animation I did for a client using Procreate ✨
Back in 2015, I did an After Effects animation course, and honestly, it's not that I cannot use it; it's just too complex for my liking.
& since animation isn't my main thing, I honestly prefer doing small little animations in things like Procreate, which I used in this case to animate this logo for a client.
It's very short, very quick, and I truly enjoyed the result and believe the client did too (this was quqite a while ago, so I don't fully remember, but one thing you must know about me is I never leave a client without a happy ending!)

Introducing Freelancer Quest 👾
Most freelancers are Level 99 at their craft but feel stuck at Level 1 when pitching themselves.
So for this Figma Makeathon, I wanted to build something to help with that - but I didn't want it to feel like every other productivity tool - I wanted it to feel like a game.
Core Features:
⭐ Keyboard-first UX: navigate using only your keyboard - it's faster and more accessible for one-handed use
⭐ Meet Pixel: I hand-drew an NPC in Procreate to add a personal touch; I’m a sucker for pixel art!
⭐ Full retro vibes: from the palette to the 8-bit sound fx, everything is designed to make applying for a job feel like the ultimate side quest
Vision:
While this version focuses on design and interaction, I plan to integrate OpenAI later to make it as helpful as can be!

Because not every fail is a complete fail 🤪
I'll be honest with you, the client I did this for didn't end up liking the final result, but call me crazy: I loved it! And other people I showed it too also really liked the designs.
And you know what?? It's work, and it's work that I did and that I'm proud of, and I'm going to share it in my portfolio ✨
Curious to know, and be brutally honest - what do you think about these?
PS: these were done as individual, static social media ads. I believe they were for Meta in the feed, but I could be mistaken since this was a few months ago already 😅

Character Animator for EdTech & Kids’ Learning
Character Animator for EdTech & Kids’ Learning
Designer and Illustrator.
This project takes the form of an illustrated children’s book, part of the fictional collection “Marias com muita coragem” (“Marias with great courage”), dedicated to celebrating women who shaped the history of Portuguese Design and Visual Culture.
The first volume focuses on Maria Keil, a pioneering artist and designer whose legacy remains underrepresented. Through biography, illustration, and interactive activities, the book introduces children (ages 9–12) to her work while raising awareness of the role of women in design.
Conceived as both an editorial object and a cultural mediation tool, it combines thoughtful design choices with an educational mission: to foster visual and historical literacy, diversify cultural references, and empower young readers to imagine and create.

For the 2023 edition of T&G, Portugal's oldest graphic arts magazine, I was invited to design the cover and back cover — both a challenge and an honor. Rooted in the theme of Sustainability in the Graphic Industry, the design creates a dialogue between print and the natural world.
The illustration portrays a girl reading in harmony with nature, surrounded by thoughtful details: squirrels holding CMYK ink cartridges, a fish symbolizing protected marine life, and trees sprouting as books. Each element transforms sustainability into a visual narrative — light, playful, and meaningful.
Selected as the winning design, the project was featured on the cover and was accompanied by an article inside, where I shared the story behind the concept.
