About
My name is Luís Luzia and I'm a 24-year-old Graphic Designer and Multimedia Artist from Porto, Portugal.
At the core of my work I often find recurring themes. I have a deep fascination for the duality between the natural and the digital, finding beauty both in the subtle qualities of a natural soundscape and the distorted artifacts of a digital file. In between these two worlds lies the space where I work and build upon.
My academic background served in part as a journey of self-discovery, with every stepping stone allowing me to ‘breath in’ different challenges and experiences that would later influence my artistic views, references and overall workflow. As a child, I always had a keen interest in ecology and genetics, which eventually led me to a bachelor’s degree in biology, where through different internships and classes I developed my team working skills and also enhanced my learning agility and adaptability in various topics. After finishing my degree, I realized that even though I loved reading and learning, creating and communicating was what I excelled at.With this in mind, I applied to a master's degree in Multimedia, which really helped to broaden my horizons and delve into my artistic aspirations. I also started to develop my Web Design skills, using tools such as Webflow, Wordpress and Figma. Lastly, after discovering my passion towards graphic design, I completed a one-year specialized course in the subject matter that allowed me to develop both personal projects and freelance work for different brands, exploring editorial design, illustration, packaging, branding and more.
Right now, I mostly do freelance work as a graphic designer, working with a wide array of clients in various areas. To me, the beauty of the design process is about finding a compromise, a balanced middle ground between the client's wishes and your own artistic vision. With my background in multimedia, I focus on flexibility and innovation, often 'breaking the bounds' of traditional graphic design, by offering clients innovative and out-of-the-box ideas that help them reach their vision for their brand.
