Description
My name is Pedro and I'm a freelancer graphic designer & illustrator living in the bucolic county of Sertã deep in the Portuguese countryside.
It was in the inspiring depths of Portugal that I chose to reinvent myself. Among quietness, rurality and nature I found the focus that each project requires. This is where I proudly set up my studio. Working remotely from the woods since 2016.
Besides computers my life revolves around family, dogs, guitars and small farming.
I come from a family of five siblings, and so working as a team is not a problem for me!

Travellers will be involved in nature in the deep of Portugal, immersed in the remnants of Portuguese tradition. I'm a neo rural moved from Lisbon to the woods. Still learning in this new life. Able to teach in different areas such as: music, graphic design, illustration, small farming and small constructions projects.
Help
In the short term I need help in activities that involve projects in a countryside house that I've started in 2018. The works involve cleaning, watering plants, gardening, small construction projects and animals care.
