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. Throughout my degree, a narrative and connection to illustration were always important to exist in my projects. In 2012 I graduated with 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 decided to go on an adventure, and I moved abroad. I lived in Munich, Germany, for 4 years, where I worked as a graphic designer and where I also did a bit of 3D modelling and rendering for a cosmetic packing design company called Corpack.

Currently, I live in Lisbon, and I work as a graphic designer and illustrator.
