My name is Carlos Miguel Baptista, and I have a degree in Graphic Design from ESAD-CR. I am the sole employee of my communication design studio, which I founded in 2005. Additionally, I am one of the co-founders of a coworking space and provide consulting services for a business association. I studied at ESAD-CR, considered one of the best Portuguese design schools, with renowned professors and many award-winning students in various competitions.

My goal is to explore new markets, cultures, and ways of working. I believe that my dedication, creativity, and skillsMore...
