Praying for Pope Francis, a fighter, a humanist, an example. Wish he had the time to visit Ukraine, would’ve been perfect. He’s an extraordinary Pope.

One thing that have always soothed me during stressful deadlines, delivering design for clients, is taking care of our cars. Taking a couple of hours washing, checking, beauty kit, everything. Always loved it since taking care of my dad’s Renault 5

President Zelensky rules, such courage under fire, extraordinary brave for his people. UK and Denmark already focused on aiding Ukraine on a higher level. End result is a reunited Europe, which economically already is, and militarily on its way. What about that, Trmup "The Little man"?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

One cool project from 2024: Promedwork, our client since 2008, grew with two new branch companies so we had to organize the communication as a whole in a document. Quite cool to be a part of our client's success. Yes.

A plan. A club. A legacy. From Portugal to the world. One man, one vision—turning a dream into a reality that, in 40 years, put a city on the map. Portugal is more than just Lisbon; it’s also Porto—the invincible city, standing tall with pride. Rest in peace, Pinto da Costa. 🕊️

Not including Zelensky on Russian/ Ukrainian end of war negotiations is insulting. It’s moronic

My advice for logo design? Testing mockups after creating the logo. You'll have to change things, change is good. It's problem solving and that's what makes designers, designers. Yes.

Proportions between logo mark and lettering. Still going to class after all these years, yet fundamental to get it right. Each logo is a universe of its own spawning applications from tote bags to coffee mugs, paper and digital presences. Awesome. #creativepowerson

Mighty Boavista, Porto's underdog football/ soccer club finally allowed by Fifa to register new players (6 in a row!). Last place in the league, Lito Vidigal back as coach and it's on. As usual, we'll fight. Boavista! Boavista! #boavistaFC

Working on a brand new logo for design decor company Lemon Variance. Having a blast! The logo mark went really well and through finesse the logo is resolving itself. Creativity is quite something.

So Nelo Smuk wanted to get his hands on ChatGPT and ruin it just like he did with Twitter. Anyways, Sam Altman's response with buying X way below what was worth when Nelo got it, was really funny

#Billionsseason7 was pretty phenomenal. Plot twist was kind of unexpected (no spoilers here). Anyways, I correct what I said about Paul Giamatti, first time I saw him on screen was on Singles... Back in 1992. Awesome short appearance 😂

Joyous Monday, everyone! I love Mondays because I've created my own job. You see, in the late 90's a web designer was something new and there I was, in Europe's forefront of the internet startups. Cheers! #GoodMonday #MondayVibes #CreativePower #Startups

Visiting Porto and into vinyl records, from rarities to unexpected finds? Yesterday, on a long walk in Porto's downtown searching for "that" vinyl record, found out a new stopping. vinyldisc.pt Vinyl Disc is hidden on a lawyers' downtown building, up on the 3rd. Floor. Amazing place, coolest owner

Design inspiration comes from everywhere. So I when I felt this year's interns were a bit stuck to their screens, I told them to hit the streets to check posters and galleries. Senses, analogies, observing, feeling design is way more deep than being on Pinterest boards over and over.

After DeepSeek challenging the status quo, here's the inception of an idea. A space company finding a way to build rockets efficiently than SpaceX, spending way less resources combining solar with clean propulsion. Something that seemed impossible until it's done, freaking out Nelo Shmuk. Yes.

Being a fan of tech doesn't mean you have to pay allegiance to a douchebag. Bill Gates is half a douche than Nelo Shmuk and after knowing about his involvement with dubious people I threw all books I owed written about him to the garbage. For recycling. Power to the users!

Yesterday's storm round here "Sunny Portugal" was bad but could've been worst. Construction site's protection metal plates started flying around, thankfully Civil Protection and Firefighters minimized the dangers. Had to remove our cars with plates flying around, it was my heroic moment. No damages.
