Hello, I’m Marisa Espinheira, a graphic designer based in northern Portugal. My work combines handmade techniques and cultural immersion to create designs with social impact.

Inspired by nature and aquatic environments, I embrace minimalism and slow living, valuing intention and presence in every aspect of life.

I specialize in a variety of design services, including editorial projects like magazines and books, brand creation such as logos, brand concepts, and comprehensive brand guidelines, merchandising, custom typography, and event communication.

My mission is to create authentic and impactful designs that help small businesses connect deeply with their communities. Through thoughtful and intentional design, I strive to leave a lasting impression.
