Digital designer.
Illustrator.
Something else.

Hello!

My name is Joana and I am a communication designer with experience in creating and editing digital content, and a passion for the world of creativity.

I enjoy communicating ideas clearly and visually, and I find motivation in the challenge of transforming concepts into something simple and effective — and creating, whether on paper, on screen or by sharing with others.

My process is fueled by the pleasure of learning something new every day, of transforming ideas into images and seeking visual solutions to complex problems, as I believe that good communication brings us closer, inspires us and transforms what surrounds us.

Porto, Portugal

From pencil to marker, from Paint to Photoshop, from digital tablet to iPad, from the smallest projects and sketches to the most elaborate works, everything served as a process for who I am today in the field.Sometimes it's not easy to follow a single path when there are a thousand and one styles that attract and inspire us. But it's this pursuit that makes it all the more exciting.

What I bring to the table:

● Skilled in Ps, Ai and Id
● Creative Problem Solving
● Dedication, Responsibility and Reliable
● Willingness to Learn
● Board Games

Ready to build something amazing?

Desamparo

2019 | Illustrated fanzine, "Helplessness"Final result of the master's project, on the theme "narcissistic mother and the damage caused to her child".The final object is a fanzine, which presents the child's path from the mother's gestation, until the moment when s/he is freed from it. Accompanying each illustration is a random word that represents a characteristic of a narcissistic mother. Ironically, the word "amparo" (meaning "protection/support") refers to the name of the narcissistic mother who inspired the project and its title: "Desamparo" ("helplessness").The drawings were worked with graphite pencils, where different elements were drawn on different sheets. The separation served to later work the illustration to be printed in risography, in two colors.__● DISSERTATION

Story time

Drawing, always been present

With an architect for a father and a preschool teacher for a mother, drawing materials surrounded my space from a young age. Whether it was drawing on walls, painting from my mother's fashion magazines, or watching my father's drawings, my taste for them developed.
