I'm sorry, this list is a bit out of date. When I get time I'll publish here my most recent projects.
Every year the Secondary School of Palmela compiles in one edition the rich diversity of written production of its students: texts demanded by teachers, self-initiated texts, in prose, verse, spiral or even in the shape of a clock, individual or written by forty hands. In this 12th edition I contributed with the graphic design.
Coordination: João Ribeiro / Collaborating teachers: Cristina Falcão, Ermelinda Machete, Eva Fernandes, Maria do Céu Couto, Maria do Céu Ventura / Texts: students of the Secondary School of Palmela / Printing and binding: Carla Brás and Rosário Cotovia
I am currently working as a freelance communication designer and as a bartender.
On my free time I am one of the people behind ODET, a collective working on the intersection between technology, democracy and ecology. Recently we co-organized the 1st Festival of People's Technology of Setúbal, on the 15th and 16th of March.
Some other things I do continuously: I am a co-producer at Quinta Maravilha, an agro-ecology farm in Palmela, and once a week I am in the Vozes da União community choir, at União Setubalense. Whenever possible I do volunteering/activism at rede ex aequo, facilitating debates in schools about LGBTI issues.
