Maria Figueiredo

Graphic Designer

Porto, Portugal
Hello! I'm Maria, a graphic designer also known as @mariafigas. Currently, I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Graphic Design and Editorial Projects at FBAUP in Porto. In the field of design, I have a keen interest in editorial design, printing techniques, motion design, visual design, and branding. I have a special fondness for analog tools, so in my free time, I've embarked on a personal crochet project (@figas.crochet), where I apply this traditional technique to contemporary designs.
