In this portfolio you will have the opportunity to learn more about my work and my areas of specialization, but first: I’ll start by introducing myself!
hi! my name is
Catarina
I’m 23 years old and I’m from Porto, Portugal. I am finishing my masters degree in Fashion Communications Design and hope to become a professional in the industry. A full-time dreamer and believer in constant growth, after graduating in Business Communication I took the risk and am now trying to make my way into the fashion industry.
Here’s a little bit of my story:
Ever since a very young age I never truly convinced myself about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I wanted to be everything: a dancer, a gymnastic, a teacher and even a beach vendor.
2013 / Communication and Media When in secondary school I chose a more practical path and then entered a Communication and Media course: my first and unforgettable touch with the world of arts. There I learned all the basic of communication, journalism, marketing and design to later intensify them at university. For my senior year I also did and internship in a communication agency which I successfully completed.
2016
/ Business Communication
My passion for communication, united with the entrepreneurial spirit that was starting to grow in me, lead me to this amazing degree where I learned everything I needed to know to work in all kinds of communication. From internal communication to social media management, and even other areas such as digital marketing, advertising, public relations, crisis communication and brand activation.
Internal Communication
Public Relations
Social Media Management
Crisis Communication
Digital Marketing
Brand Activation
Advertising
+ Graphic Design (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign)
For my final project I chose to apply all this knowledge to the study of the potential birth of a sustainable swimwear brand and its communication.
During these years I also joined the communication department of a student association where I worked for their social media, some events and even parties (I guess you could say I very much enjoyed this part).
fa sh ion busin es s plan
I was also involved in the organization of an event dedicated to communication and marketing with the presence of renowned professional in the field.
I experienced some of the best years of my life while still doing some volunteer work (the best of both worlds).

2019/2020 Gap Year
proud cashier
After my bachelor’s degree I took a gap year to work and get my mind of some studying but Covid-19 came in and convinced me to go back to university. Ever since my final project I started to become more interested in starting my own fashion brand and getting to know the fashion industry a bit more, so I applied for a Fashion Communications Design master’s degree and got accepted.
2020 - present Master’s degree
In the first year at my master’s degree I managed to develop skills in communicating fashion collections, visual merchandising, fashion marketing and communication design applied to fashion products. The experience was mostly practical that materialized in several projects present in this portfolio. To highlight: the final communication project of six fashion collections where my communication concept was chosen and from it I started writing the script and edited seven short films that tell the story of “The Creation of Fashion”.
That brings me here!
The following pages present some of my work in different stages of my journey. I want to be part of a better fashion industry and I commit myself to contribute with all my skills and ideas to help your brand grow.
P.S. You can also see the full version of my resume attached together with my portfolio.

ANDOR VIOLETA content creation
The project "Andor Violeta" was born from a group university work about Social Media. It started as a blog with relevant content for its audience, becoming just an Instagram page in a later restructuring. Light, fun, not at all problematic and very relatable, Andor Violeta was a project from the heart that involved the creation of a visual identity, a communication strategy and social media management.
ANDOR VIOLETA criação de conteúdo O projeto “Andor Violeta” nasceu de um trabalho de grupo sobre Redes Sociais. Começou por ser um blog com conteúdo relevante para o seu público, passando a ser apenas uma página de Instagram numa posterior reestruturação. Leve, divertido, nada problemático e muito “relatable”, o Andor Violeta foi um projeto do coração que envolveu a criação de uma identidade visual, uma estratégia de comunicação e a gestão de redes sociais.
