Margarida Girão
I have always been driven to work in the fields of arts and communication, guided by humanitarian and justice-oriented values.
I’ve been creating collages since I was 10 years old and have had the opportunity to apply this technique in various areas: editorial and commercial illustration, workshops for diverse audiences and events, and as a form of identity expression for communities.
Alongside my work with collage illustrations, I also run A NEW DAY creative studio, where I bring together my expertise and experience in design, communication, and creative direction to create meaningful work.
This is a journey I intend to continue for a long time.
Sempre fui motivada a trabalhar nas áreas das artes e da comunicação, guiada por valores humanitários e de justiça.
Faço colagens desde os 10 anos, aplicando esta técnica em ilustração, workshops e como expressão identitária de comunidades.
Além disso, sou responsável pelo estúdio criativo A NEW DAY, onde combino a minha experiência em design, comunicação e direção criativa para criar trabalhos significativos.
Provavelmente, vou continuar mais uns anos este percurso, com atualizações e novos caminhos.
