Hi, I’m Kardo. I love trying everything I can: design, illustration, 3D, video, advertising, packaging, web… you name it. I’m passionate about exploring new things and learning skills I don’t yet have. Rather than being an expert in one area, I like to think of myself as flexible, curious, and diverse.
I studied Graphic Design in the tropical gardens of Caracas, Venezuela, where I worked for six years and even taught design—a beautiful experience I sometimes wish I could relive. Later, I moved to Portugal, my parents’ country, embracing its extraordinary culture along the way.
I’m also the guy who keeps reminding people I’m Portuguese too—though my accent doesn’t always make it easy! I love cooking for friends, traveling (sometimes solo, sometimes with company), photographing architectural details, or sitting down to draw a sculpture. I’m especially passionate about drawing the human body—it’s where I feel most alive as an artist.
