WUDA Furniture - 327 Creative Studio

WUDA is a family-owned joinery and furniture design company based in Portugal, with decades of expertise and a deep-rooted belief in the value of refined craftsmanship and contemporary design.

The visual identity was conceived to be bold yet minimal, built around precise typographic arrangements and a geometric symbol that embodies the brand’s balance between tradition and modernity. Every detail was carefully considered to elevate Wuda’s positioning within the premium design market.

Materials and finishes for the printed pieces were carefully chosen to convey a sense of quality, ensuring a tactile and refined expression of the brand. From the visual identity and storytelling to the design of communication materials, packaging, and website, the project expresses Wuda’s timeless craftsmanship and contemporary spirit.

Almeida Garrett, 327 Creative Studio

The Almeida Garrett Reserva and Grande Reserva are the two premium wines in the Almeida Garrett Wines range. 

After an extensive research into the author’s oldest works in the library that bears his name, we defined two distinct yet intersecting paths in the development of these two labels.

For the Grande Reserva, we recreated an old cover from one of his works, represented in debossing and foil, on heavyweight paper with a rich, tactile texture, where we used the key details of the wine to replace the elements of the original cover. For the Reserva, and given that we discovered valuable lost handwritten excerpts within his work, we decided to design a double-layer label that creates transparency between the selected papers, once again blending the classic with a minimalist yet bold approach.

Master Thesis, FH Joanneum, Graz, Austria

The paper Beyond Words Typography as a Form of Emotional Expression explores the impact of typographic detail and its predictability based on different typographic design features. It introduces an innovative classification of typefaces designed to elicit emotional responses. It focuses on the analysis of individual design details and their visual impact.


The findings of this study are presented through a detailed seven-factor font analysis model. This model allows for the categorisation of emotional responses to type based on design characteristics. The findings provide a meaningful basis for future research in the area of implicit perception of typography in visual communication and contribute to the improvement of font applications.

Potion Playhouse - 327 Creative Studio

Our approach was to reflect the brand’s playful yet purposeful character through thoughtful visual storytelling. The design is anchored in clean, minimalist typography — refined and elegant at first glance, yet balanced with small typographic twists and dynamic graphic details that suggest movement, transformation, and joy. 

These design elements nod to the meticulous craft behind skincare formulations, capturing the fluid, ever-evolving nature of both skincare and self-expression.The packaging is designed to be tactile and inviting. The soft colour palette of the background, paired with a minimalist approach, is thoughtfully balanced by the subtle use of three neon accents. These vibrant touches distinguish the different product categories, resulting in a final design that feels both elegant and visually striking.

Typography
Layout Design



I have a deep appreciation for book design, and one of my favorite projects was redesigning The Truth About Socialism. For an academic assignment, I gave the book a fresh, contemporary look that reflects the significance of its content. I chose to let the typography take center stage—allowing it to communicate the message clearly and powerfully. The design embraces minimalism, creating a calm and modern atmosphere throughout. A clean, easy-to-read grid structure guides the layout, ensuring a smooth and accessible reading experience from cover to cover.















TYPOGRAPHIC ZINE
University Project, IADE Lisbon

Lettering, Layout Design



Emotions play a vital role in our everyday life’s and still we do not know how to describe them or even do not know at all what we are feeling in this special moment. This zine shows 15 different emotions, which we probably not know about the actual name.

Complementing these emotions I generated letterforms in order to help to feel these emotions and to create a deeper connection between the viewer and the message and to make it tangible.
