Hi, I'm Carolina, a Digital Designer from Santarém, Portugal, with a Bachelor's degree in Graphic and Multimedia Design from ESAD.CR. I craft thoughtful brand identities, motion, and digital experiences through visual solutions that are clear, functional, and impactful.
Previously, I worked as Lead Designer at BrainStory, where I combined creative direction with team planning and design operations. I believe the best work happens when creativity meets well-structured processes and that's where I found my balance.
Today, I'm a Creative & Motion Designer at UPPartner, where I develop creative concepts, motion graphics, and digital campaigns for a diverse range of brands. Working across both static and animated content allows me to bring ideas to life through engaging visual storytelling while continuing to grow my expertise in motion design and digital communication.
Outside of work, I explore illustration, create small animations, and produce lo-fi music as a way to expand my creative expression. I'm naturally curious, driven by continuous learning, and passionate about sharing knowledge. One of my long-term goals is to contribute to creative education and help inspire the next generation of designers.
