My name is Carlos Miguel Baptista, and I have a degree in Graphic Design from ESAD-CR. I am the sole employee of my communication design studio, which I founded in 2005. Additionally, I am one of the co-founders of a coworking space and provide consulting services for a business association. I studied at ESAD-CR, considered one of the best Portuguese design schools, with renowned professors and many award-winning students in various competitions. The ESAD-CR environment was one of pure creativity, providing me with the opportunity to evolve and define my visual language. During my academic journey, I was awarded an Erasmus scholarship and spent a semester studying in Nottingham, England. Studying in a foreign country was an enriching experience that broadened my horizons and exposed me to different realities and creative approaches. Professionally, I have worked in a design agency and later in an advertising production company. These experiences have given me a comprehensive understanding of project execution and management. Entrepreneurship is something I have always been passionate about. Creating projects truly motivates me. I have established my own design studio and have experimented with various other projects, such as religious merchandising (auramerchandising), a portable cardboard bench as an advertising support for events (ReadySit), a shoe brand (Bosqe shoes), and cultural stickers (PTsticker). Through these projects, I have faced unique challenges and expanded my skills in management and leadership. In 2014, together with a partner, I founded a coworking space, which has since become my place of work. In my opinion, working in such an environment offers more advantages than a traditional office. Sharing workspace with professionals from various fields provides me with diverse inputs in a socially enriching environment. Currently, I am seeking new challenges and exciting opportunities. My goal is to explore new markets, cultures, and ways of working. I believe that my dedication, creativity, and skills would be valuable to your company. I am eager to share my ideas, contribute my expertise, and learn from talented colleagues.

    uniE621 Galeria das Kazas
    With over 20 years of experience, Galeria das Kazas recognized the importance of revitalizing its image to align with contemporary industry trends. I led this renewal by developing an innovative communications strategy. We highlighted the word "Kazas" with vibrant colors that reflect modernity and innovation. Throughout the communication, we incorporated geometric and colorful shapes, reinforcing its visual identity. We worked on the image of the headquarters, signs, stationery, urban advertising, and social media content. Each element was designed to reflect the company's new vision and captivate the public in a impactful way. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer logodesign rebranding visualdesign advertising
