My name is Andreia and I was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. I have always loved to draw and it helped that part of my family was connected to fine arts.

In 2009 I decided to apply for a Product Design Bachelor. I wanted to continue the connection to arts but in a way that could provide me more stability (or this was what I thought at the time). Throughout my degree, a narrative and connection to illustration were always important to exist in my projects. In 2012 I graduated from the Product Design Bachelor at the Fine Arts College of Lisbon University.

After my graduation, I felt that a deeper connection with illustration was essential to me. Sooner or later, I came back to illustration and my career twisted to graphic design. A couple of months later I started to work as a graphic designer at On Spot Marketing, a brand activation agency. At the same time, and during these years, I worked as a freelancer and I applied for different product and graphic design contests. In 2015 I worked together with a spare-time writer, Marta Lourenço. We created two children’s books, The Blue Boy and Once upon a time on the Equator Line… a love story.

One year later I made the crazy decision to move abroad (here I am). Currently, I’m working at Corpack GmbH, in Munich, as a graphic designer and where I also do a bit of 3D modelling and rendering.
