Veludo’s Motto: Fun and Play
Her motto is ‘fun and play’, as her first memories of creativity date back to when she was around five years old, in the era in which her fingers got dirty from painting and drawing with any possible color. She spent hours building up exhibitions in her grandmother’s kitchen.
After high school, she studied sculpture at The Fine Arts department of the Fine Arts Uni in Lisbon, to soon realize she wanted something more ‘visual.’ That’s how she started engaging with posters to end up with a BA in Graphic Design.
Then Veludo soon moved to Barcelona for an MA at Elisava, where she found her first work experience at No-Domain studio.
Veludo finally ended up in Amsterdam to work for Matte Studio, where she designed both cultural and retail fields. Soon she decided to bring this creative job and passion to the next level and launch a studio of her own.
