Most of my work is for small and local businesses in Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia who care more about getting enquiries than about winning design awards. Some of it is covered by confidentiality, so this page leads with what I did rather than naming every business. Each project below has the client's own Google review next to it, real and unedited.
