Some things that get me out of bed
A library of references in permanent construction, and probabily already out of date. Many of the descriptions are not yet translated to english, for which I apologize.
I am currently working as a freelance communication designer and as a bartender.
Recently I did the graphic design of an exhibition about artistic education in childhood, which you can see in Grémio Cezimbrense until the 22nd Februrary 2025.
A am a co-producer at Quinta Maravilha, in Palmela, and once a week I am in the Vozes da União choir, at União Setubalense. Whenever possible I do volunteering/activism on LGBTI issues at rede ex aequo and Cooperativa SEIES.
Not all of them. Just some I find more relevant.
