Hi, I’m a Graphic Designer based in Galway, Ireland, with a passion for practical, thoughtful design

I’m originally from Brazil and have been settled in County Galway for nearly 10 years. With over two decades of experience, I specialise in print design and branding—creating clear, consistent visuals that communicate effectively and make an impact. As a senior graphic designer, I bring a calm approach and a strong problem-solving mindset. I enjoy helping organisations tell their stories through well-crafted brochures, prospectuses, logos, and visual identities. I also explore the digital side of design. I completed a Software Development course with the Code Institute, and I enjoy coding and working with new technologies like AI. I even designed and coded this website myself, using AI tools to streamline the process. Whether it’s a college prospectus, a brand refresh, or a custom-coded website, I focus on delivering clear, consistent, and practical design solutions. When I’m not working, I’m probably hiking, travelling, photographing new places, watching movies, or enjoying good coffee. If you're looking for a graphic designer in Co. Galway with experience in both print and digital, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
