About
About me:
I'm a young aspiring artist/graphic designer that recently graduated from high school with specialization in digital design. Currently I'm studying at the Art School IPLUSO (Instituto Politécnico da Lusofonia) while doing some freelance work on the side. I'm also actively developing my portfolio on my social media platforms (like instagram and Twitter/X). I have a strong passion for character design, storytelling, conceptual art, cartoon art, graphic design, animation, video editing, movies and video games. When it comes to work, I give it all. I'm very punctual, hardworking, a team player and my customers wishes are my number one priority. Always available to learn, work and evolve, in order to increase my knowledge and to improve myself as a person and as a professional.
