"The same hand that renders a watch dial draws a Lisbon doorway. Ornament, structure, patience — it is all one practice."
About
Based in Lisbon, I have worked remotely with Swiss watch brands as an independent creative since 2008 — designing complete watches, visual identities and brand materials for clients including Zurich 1956, Swiss Military and Sicura.
Before that, a formative decade-plus inside Japanese watch manufacturing, based in Hong Kong, gave me the full vocabulary of timepiece design from the inside — case architecture, dial hierarchy, finishing standards, the logic of the movement even when you don't engineer it. That technical rigour still shapes everything I make.
My original training was in furniture and spatial design — which is perhaps why I have always thought of visual design as something that exists in three dimensions, in materials, with weight. A watch dial is a small room. A brand identity is a building. That instinct has never left.
In recent years a personal practice in calligraphy and line art has added a new dimension — ornamental, patient, entirely by hand. It is available as fine art prints, for licensing, or as bespoke commissions.
