DESIGN FOR E-COMMERCE

Global Graphic Designer specializing in photo manipulation. I bring my passion and expertise to create visually captivating designs through photo manipulation techniques.
With meticulous attention to detail and a keen artistic eye, I excel at transforming ordinary photos into extraordinary works of art. Through advanced editing techniques, seamless compositing, and creative enhancements, I breathe new life into images, crafting visual narratives that evoke emotions and leave a lasting impact.

In addition to my primary skill in photo manipulation, I possess a diverse range of complementary design skills, including branding and visual identity, print design, social media post design, and typography. These skills enable me to approach design challenges from various angles and deliver comprehensive solutions.

Beyond my love for design, dance holds a special place in my heart. It is not only an art form that I deeply enjoy but also a source of inspiration for my creative work. Dance has taught me the importance of expressing emotions, storytelling, and capturing the essence of movement. I believe that dance and design share a common thread in their ability to communicate and evoke emotions through visual expression.

Drawing from my background in dance, I infuse my designs with a sense of rhythm, grace, and fluidity. Just as a dancer tells a story through movement, I aim to create visual narratives that engage viewers and take them on a visual journey.

Throughout my journey with Entain Group, I have had the opportunity to be involved in exciting projects. Notably, I have contributed my design skills to projects related to Cheltenham Horse Racing, Ladbrokes World of Play, and the World Cup. These experiences have allowed me to combine my passion for design, creating captivating designs that capture the excitement and spirit of these events.
Graduated in Portugal, I consider myself an enthusiastic person also interested in architecture, astronomy, and dance, all source of my creativity.
