Working as a freelancer is not only about the creative process and the final product.
It is also about the people you collaborate with and how that interaction evolves during a project.

Here is what my clients have to say about working with me.
Karolinska Institute (Illustration Series)
We had the pleasure of hiring Goncalo to create 5 illustrations for our office and doctoral course "Career Skills for Scientists". His background as a researcher and scientist himself, along with his great visual-creation skills, made him the perfect person to interpret my ramblings and turn them into the illustrations we needed. Respecting Karolinska Institutet's use of colors, our preference in style and the feeling we wanted to get across, Goncalo really ran the process, checking in regularly to update us on his progress and doing everything from concept design to sketching and delivering the final illustrations. Structured and easy to communicate with, I warmly recommend Goncalo and his work!

I recently worked with Goncalo on an animation project. He did a fantastic job. The brief required him to take complex information and display it in an understandable and visually appealing way. He succeeded and the results surpassed everyone's expectations. There are two reasons why I believe working with Goncalo was so rewarding. The first is that he is a talented designer and animator, you just have to look at his portfolio to see that. However, in science and technology projects, this is not enough. Goncalo has something extra and rare in creatives working in science and biotech. His entire approach to the animation project gave clarity at every stage, both from the planning and admin perspective, but also the animation and design. This is crucial with technically demanding briefs and it's not an easy thing to do. However, Goncalo was always methodical and patient leading clear expectations and an extremely enjoyable project. I'm looking forward to working with him again.

We outsourced the production of a descriptive animation of how our technology is used to Goncalo. He immediately struck us as a very ambitious and talented designer, with lots of great ideas. He also implemented a great feedback system to make sure the work flow kept a high pace and he never missed a deadline. Finally, the animation turned out awesome. My strongest recommendations!
