Hi,
I’m Pedro Miguel Santos, a 27-year-old graphic designer from Lisbon, Portugal, with 5+ years of experience creating impactful visual communication across print, digital, and event environments. My work blends a clean, contemporary aesthetic with strategic thinking to ensure every design not only looks great but serves its purpose effectively.
While I have a deep passion for editorial and print design, my experience also spans social media content creation—Instagram posts, stories, reels—and a wide range of promotional materials, including flyers, brochures, outdoor ads, and large-scale event graphics. In recent years, I’ve also taken on art direction roles, coordinating multidisciplinary teams and ensuring brand consistency across every touchpoint.
Clients value my collaborative approach, openness to feedback, and attention to detail. I’m committed to delivering designs that align with your goals, and I thrive on refining ideas until they are both visually striking and strategically sound.
