HELLO AND WELCOME TO FLEXIN’!
Flexin’ is a series of conversations born from personal curiosity and a need of better understanding the creative industry and how its professionals work.
Throughout my journey as a creative professional I’ve realized that a lot of creatives had the same questions and worries that I had in regards to our practice and so the ideia behind Flexin’ is to try and look for new perspectives and maybe some solutions for common problems within the creative community.
With a spirit of shared knowledge and class solidarity, I hope this conversations can bring some clarity towards the realities of creative labour and make us move forward in creating better working conditions for creatives.

World Health Organization Documentation
WHO produces documentation to be used worldwide by medical professionals. I was asked to design a document for a super relevant topic, Measles and Rubella in the European Region. With over 100 pages of technical information and numerous graphs, the document was designed in close collaboration with the technical team at WHO, always taking in consideration the importance of the information that it contained.
