Margarida Girão
I was born in Coimbra and lived in Sertã until I was 17; my family still resides there.
I’ve been making collages since I was 11 and have always aimed to work in the arts and with humanitarian and justice-oriented organizations.
My background centers around arts, digital communication, design and creative direction.
In 2020, I started using creative expression for social interaction and awareness within communities.
Under Estúdio Criativo Margarida Girão, I bring together my knowledge and experience in the fields of in design, communication and creative direction.
I’ll likely be on this journey for a good while.
