Alexandre Moinhos FARO, PORTUGAL 18.03.1987
I, Alexandre Gago Vieira Moinhos (1987) was born on March 18, 1987 in Faro, Portugal. In 2005 I finished secondary school in Tomås Cabreira in Faro. Then came the moment for which I was so worried what would be the path that I would choose to pursuit, I still had a lot of doubts, but I decided to risk on a new degree that would meet my tastes, my ambitions and also my abilities. The Visual Arts course had several classes that interested me, including video, photography, drawing, and animation. When I finished the degree, I felt that wasn’t enough, I wanted to learn more and more deeply, so I left my birthplace to a new environment the capital of Portugal, Lisbon. I took a crash course in Web Design, only to gain the basic knowledge and later I enrolled in a professional course in
Graphic Design and New Media at Restart. This course opened my doors for Design, and I took the opportunity the best way I could to develop my skills and knowledge. When I finished the second level (and last) of the Design course, I tried to put into practice the knowledge acquired. The task was not easy but I got an internship at Fashion Clinic, I worked in a photography studio and helped both the photographer and the lead designer. When the internship ended, they gave me the chance to continue, but without payment. So I decided to find something new and more according to my skills and I founded on Happy Brands, where I developed websites, created pieces of stationary, a little bit of everything. But unlike Fashion Clinic the environment was not the way I expected.
