My name is David, and I am a Portuguese Designer, with a portfolio that emphasises identity and individual growth. I am particularly interested in the mental health crisis and its impact on individuals. Additionally, I am passionate about using music and sound to raise awareness about significant societal issues. Pursuing a postgraduate degree represented a pivotal step in my development as a designer and storyteller. Having completed my undergraduate studies in Illustration, I was eager to embark on work that held commercial appeal and would also enhance my employability. Concurrently, I sought an opportunity to dedicate a year to exploring and refining my own creative concepts—concepts that resonate deeply with my passions and drive.
