Hi, I’m João, a passionate graphic designer with a strong foundation in visual storytelling and a commitment to solving problems and creating impactful designs. Throughout my design journey, I had the opportunity to work in creative environments and spent a significant amount of time working on projects that reflect my creativity, dedication and curiosity for design.
My design path has been shaped by a deep interest in self-directed learning and a variety of hands-on projects which allowed me to explore ideas freely. Whether it’s creating visual identities, experimenting with UI/UX design, or simply diving into new tools and techniques, I’m constantly pushing myself to turn ideas into reality.
A pivotal part of my journey was studying in the UK, where I was immersed in new cultures and perspectives that deeply influenced my approach to design. My time abroad wasn’t just about studying; it was about observing how design impacts people globally and how creativity can bridge cultural divides.
I’m excited to continue growing, taking on new challenges, and collaborating with others to bring creative visions to life. If you’d like to connect or discuss potential projects, feel free to reach out!
3dbestie is an online knowledge-base and tutorial platform for learning Blender. The project was aimed at providing quick step-by-step guides for anyone using Blender to learn or remember how to do a specific task quickly and effectively. This was built out of frustration with the repeating gibberish that video tutorials usually have - “leave a like”, “please subscribe” - which become increasingly tiring when someone is actively trying to learn.
The website is designed to be both utilitarian and practical: preview thumbnails exemplify an outcome and resemble a specific challenge the user might encounter with Blender; buttons for individually controlling what step you’re on, ensuring that not a single step is missed.
Additionally, to make it more practical and faster to build tutorials, I developed a dedicated software in C# that integrated taking screenshots, editing, adding the text and exporting, all in one place.
