Overview
I worked as a graphic designer on more than 20 published children's books, some of which have been awarded multiple times. What about adults? I get along with everyone! I love creative editorial work — that's why culture-related books and independent publications are my passion.
Let's work together! I will help you with design ideas and budget advice. You can expect three or four page/cover layout options — I will work on one of them until you're happy with the result (this is valid for graphic design and/or illustration). If you have your own illustrations, I can help you set them in the correct format. You will always be on top of the book's progress. In the final phase of the project I will export the book and send you all the necessary files (e.g. digital and print PDFs in different resolutions). And that's it! Your book will be ready for printing.
Illustrators I've worked with: Bernardo P. Carvalho, Madalena Matoso, Yara Kono, Joana Estrela, Noemi Vola,
Suza Monteiro, Tiago Albuquerque.

• Winner — Non fiction, BolognaRagazzi Awards, 2019
