About

I am a friendly and open-minded freelancer who like to uncomplicate things! By allowing clients to be part of the creative process, offering conference calls through Skype and face-to-face meetings (whenever possible), I ensure all of the expectations are met. In other words, I like to design WITH the client, and not FOR the client.

I provide services in the areas of Design and Photography, having a particular interest for branding, sustainability and collaborative projects.
