Book Covers - Suma de Letras - Penguin Random House Portugal
I always loved book covers and was thrilled when I received my first briefing. With a focus on clean design and impactful visuals, I aim to craft covers that not only catch the eye but also resonate with readers. Each book is different, which allows me to explore different visuals and the connections between illustration, photography and type.

A (in)felicidade de Sara Lisa / The (un)happiness of Sara Lisa
Cover for the The (un)happiness of Sara Lisa, the first book of Ana Portocarrero. The story reads: Sara Lisa dreams of becoming an accomplished writer, one whose genius is driven by misery and unhappiness. There’s only one problem: she is profoundly happy. And like Sara Lisa, I had a really good time creating this colorful cover.
