Illustrator
Hello! I'm Margarida Mouta, an independent illustrator and artist living and working in Portugal. Over the past 11 years, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with agencies and creative studios on a multitude of big and small projects, spanning advertisement, digital products, games, illustrated websites, books, and animation. I’ve worked on campaigns for companies like Google, YouTube, Sony, Samsung, Monocle, and Fast Company. In my most recent role as the in-house brand illustrator for Doist, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the realm of brand illustration for their products and sub-brands. From 2018 to 2024, I worked on the style development and consequent iterations for Todoist and Twist, shaping their visual identity, crafting in-product illustrations, and generating engaging content for marketing campaigns. Besides being an important tool for my job, drawing was my first passion, and I enjoy doing it even in my spare time. When I'm not sketching away, I also indulge in painting, reading, and enjoying the company of my four cats.
