With a background in biology and landscape design, and over 20 years of hands-on experience working with plants and ecosystems, I approach illustration through observation, structure, and meaning.
I don’t decorate nature.
I translate it into visual language that is clear, thoughtful, and trustworthy.
I create botanical illustrations and surface patterns for packaging, editorial projects, environmental communication, and brands that value substance over visual noise.
My work lives between science and emotion, helping complex ideas become accessible, calm, and human — especially when accuracy and sensitivity truly matter.
Research is always part of my process. I begin with hand-drawn studies and real plant structures — leaves, roots, textures, growth patterns — and develop illustrations and patterns designed for real-world use: packaging, products, publications, and digital formats.
I work internationally from Portugal, collaborating with brands, publishers, and environmental initiatives that value clarity, sustainability, and visual integrity.
