Hi, I’m senior designer and art director based in Porto. Bernstudio is my creative space, where i show you how i turn ideas into visual narratives that empower brands, shaping striking identities and memorable digital experiences.
The closeness and authenticity of the name Berns reflect the way I create: with purpose and genuine connection. Outside the studio, I find inspiration in photography, travel, and everyday details. For me, design is also a way of living.
Every project is a new beginning.
See how i shape it together.
