Hi, I'm Maria.

I'm an independent Art Director based in Portugal.

I work with startups, agencies and ambitious brands to create visual identities and experiences that connect strategy with emotion.

My background in branding, motion design and illustration allows me to build creative systems that remain consistent across every touchpoint.

Creative Capabilities

  • Developing the creative concepts and visual systems that guide a brand across every touchpoint, from first sketch to final rollout.

  • Building flexible identities that scale — as sharp on a business card as they are on a storefront.

  • Motion systems that do more than move, they carry a brand's story and personality into video, product and social.

  • Taking a brand off the screen and onto a wall: murals, installations and spatial graphics that make a space unmistakably theirs.
