Overview

I'm a Portuguese book cover designer with 8 year experience. I have designed covers and interiors for picture books, novels, literary fiction, non-fiction and educational titles, to name a few.

Clients include most of the renowned Portuguese publishers such as LeYa, Topseller, Vogais, Booksmile, Nascente, Esfera dos Livros, Marcador and many independents.

During the process of creating a cover, I'm always keen on detail, suitable imagery and well chosen typography. Not only do I use conventional and digital media in my illustrations but I also create hand-drawn illustrations for the covers. As my working method, I've learned quickly to adapt and create different styles to ensure I perfectly present your genre and consider your target market too.

Regarding feedback with clients, I'm want to make sure that is a smooth process for both of us so we can be happy with the project we are working together. I'm always open to feedback and I'm easy going.

I believe that good stories should always be shared. What I most enjoy in this process is to create a face, a personality for the book covers that enhance the experience of the readers.

Let's create something together :)
