Throughout my degree I acquired skills in Adobe Suite (mostly Photoshop, After-Effects and Premiere Pro) and TVPaint, I covered all the aspects of the creative process from researching for my briefs, conceptualising my ideas and pitching them to my tutors and clients we worked with throughout the course to bringing all of the elements of production together through compositing and video editing which was my main focus for my final major project.

University overview
During my time at Lisbon School of Design I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator to be able to produce technical drawings for our final project which would be a small fashion collection, we also used Photoshop for concept art, mood boards and Fashion Illustration which was my preferred part of the process. Towards the end of the course we were taught how to use Adobe InDesign in which I had to create a visual portfolio to present to the rest of the class and that I used to apply for universities.

Interests
Interests
My hobbies include socialising with my friends and meeting new people, attending art exhibitions or music gigs, walking in a park whilst listening to music or simply relaxing at a café reading a book or sketching. However, I also take time to re-charge my social battery and enjoy staying in watching cringey shows on my laptop whilst eating take-away in bed. I'm fascinated by abstract concepts like astrology, spirituality, crystals and tarot cards which I love learning and reading about and I would say they heavily influence my own art.
