About the Author

I was born and raised in the countryside of Portugal, close to the highest mountain of continental Portugal and far from big cities. Sabugal was a quiet place, and besides school, I was spending my time in between the mountains, building tree houses, camping and playing football. Days were long and the year still had four well defined seasons. Life was free, innocent and happy. I left this peaceful place to study and graduated in Graphic Design in Lisbon a few years later. During an internship I realized that it wasn’t at all what I liked to do all day, nor what I would be willing to do as a profession for the rest of my life.
