One idea per poster
A poster has about two seconds across a street. It gets one image, one hierarchy and nothing that needs explaining.
About me
I make posters, record sleeves and print editions for venues, festivals and independent labels. One clear idea per piece, proofed on real paper before it goes to press.

My projects
Eight recent posters, 2024 to 2026.
On the wall
Made for the street, then cropped for the feed.
Every poster is designed at full size and proofed on paper first. Harbour Lights went up along the river a week before the market opened.

“We reprint it every month with new names and it still looks like the first one. People photograph the frame by the bar before they order.”
About
I design posters that people keep.
Ten years of turning pencil sketches into printed work, first at a print shop, then a theatre, and since 2022 from my own studio in Lisbon.
I learned print production as an artwork technician at Grafica Ribeira, preparing files for two offset lines and standing at a lot of press checks. Then I designed three seasons of posters for Teatro do Cais.
Since 2022 my independent studio has worked with venues, roasters, shelters and record labels. Most of the work ends up on a wall: the street, a bar, a shop window, someone’s kitchen.
Outside the studio I teach an evening course in screen printing, collect risograph ephemera and run slowly along the river.

Path
Toolkit
Software is whatever the printer needs. The work starts in a sketchbook and usually ends on a drum, a screen or a block.
How I work
- Every job starts with a written brief we both sign off, even if it is four lines long.
- Three sketched directions first, then one idea pushed hard. No twelve-option decks.
- Colour is approved on a printed proof on the real stock, never on a screen.
- I attend the press check. If the run looks wrong, it stops.
- Source files and a one-page usage note are always part of the handover.
What I care about
Made for the wall
Stock, ink and finish shape the design from the first sketch, not after it.
On time
Every schedule includes a printed proof and a day of slack before the press.

Both typefaces are open-source and self-hosted. Photography of the studio and the posters in place was made for this site. Everything you see in colour is client work.
Selected work
Eight posters, eight briefs.
Events, music, print editions and identity work from 2024 to 2026. Each project opens with the brief, the decisions and the printed result.
