ABOUT ME
With over a decade of experience, I’m thrilled to have published more than fourteen picture books with wonderful publishers like Pato Lógico, Ediciones Mónimo, and Sexto Piso Editorial. My books have reached readers in various places, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland, Peru, Mexico, and the USA.
I also create editorial illustrations, covers, posters, visual identities, packaging, and murals for public spaces.
Research is fundamental to my process. I face each project as a new cycle of challenges, with the dominant unpredictability that leads me to different and unexpected directions beyond myself.
I hold a degree in Communication Design from the Faculty of Fine Arts of Oporto. Since 2018, I have been a professor of Illustration at ESAD Art + Design.
My work has been recognized namely by being twice winner at the Illustrators Exhibition Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the AOI World Illustration Awards, Nami Island International Picture Book Illustration Competition, 3x3 The Magazine of Contemporary Illustration, White Ravens, CJ Picture Book Awards and the National Illustration Prize given by DGLAB. In 2021 I won the Baba Kamo Illustration Award in Valencia. I was a nominee for the ALMA prize in 2024 and 2025.
