About me

Hi! I’m Mariana, a Brand and Content-focused Designer based in Porto.

Over the past few years, I’ve collaborated with international teams and worked across diverse industries and markets, from creating multilingual marketing materials to participating in a workshop at CERN. These experiences have shaped my adaptability, creativity, and collaborative mindset.

I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a strong focus on brand, content, and communication. I help translate complex ideas into clear, engaging visual and written content that connects with the right audience.

With experience working across marketing teams, I create and maintain consistent brand messaging across multiple channels - from presentations and digital platforms to social media and campaign assets.

My work sits at the intersection of design and content, supporting both marketing and sales through structured, strategic communication.
