I'm Rafaela Abreu, a Senior Brand Designer and Art Director based in Porto, Portugal, with over a decade of experience creating impactful design solutions. Currently, I work at Sword Health, a leading digital health company that's revolutionizing physical therapy with cutting-edge, data-driven solutions.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of partnering with both national and international brands across diverse industries, including fashion, culture, health, tech, and the fast-evolving crypto sector. From 2021 to 2024, I worked as an independent designer, and also collaborating with Hugo Amaral at Sismo Studio. Together, we tackled a wide range of creative projects, from branding and visual identity to digital experiences, further expanding my skill set and broadening my understanding of how design can drive business growth.

Whether I'm shaping brand identities, crafting digital experiences, or exploring new creative avenues, I am deeply committed to creating meaningful work that connects with audiences. Beyond design, I'm passionate about illustration and photography, always seeking new ways to tell visual stories and bring fresh perspectives to the projects I work on.
