Hello!
Welcome to my online portfolio! I'm Cristina, a designer based in Lisbon, Portugal.
I received my degree in Graphic Design from the University of Porto, and later completed my Master's in Communication Design at the King Mongkut University in Bangkok.
The colorful and pattern-filled atmosphere of Bangkok allowed me to break free from the self-imposed belief that I had to create minimal design. This allowed me to create work that reflects who I am and makes me happy.
After Bangkok and a quick stop in Berlin, where I adopted my furry sidekick, I have returned to Portugal.
Recently I’ve added animation to my skillset, I challenged myself to learn the necessary tools so I can make colorful things that also move ;-)
I'm always seeking out new challenges and opportunities to grow, and new mediums to explore.
Outside of work I love a few things you might expect, such as travelling, food, the beach…and dogs of course, dogs are everything!
When I need to unwind, building Lego sets and playing Pokemon on the Nintendo usually does the trick. Or rewatching 80s movies that I've probably seen at least 20 times.
If you’d like to say hi, discuss a project, or share a picture of your dog, you can email me at hello@pinanip.com
Thank you for stopping by!
