I am both an Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer. My work in the advertising field began with studies at António Arroio, the top art school in Portugal, and Ar.Co. I began my professional life as a graphic designer at Gabinete Moura George, a communication design studio. Five years later I was invited to join Ogilvy and Mather Lisbon's creative team as Art Director. I spent six fantastic years leading the development of graphic design solutions for the advertising campaigns of Portugal’s leading companies. I continued my journey at Interface - a direct marketing and promotion design firm. Four years later I got back to graphic design as Senior Graphic Designer at Koncept / Paniac. A year later I joined McCann Erickson’s Lisbon office, as Art Director, where I spent nine years. I then joined the Spanish agency Comunica+A and led a team that opened its new Lisbon office, where I spent eight fulfilling years. As a freelancer, I bring to bear my extensive background
