About
Maria Cunha Alegre (1995, Porto). Young multidisciplinary creative with a background in Fine Arts and Design. Captivated by the Alps, I lived three years in Germany, enthusiastic about travelling and meeting new cultures.
Always willing to explore different techniques, aware of problems and learning from them (and creating solutions). My approach insists on bringing other people's ideas to life and making the creative industries accessible to everyone.
My training, focused on aesthetics, composition of shapes and colours, allows me to present modern and dynamic solutions. I am constantly mindful of my surroundings and on the premise that I am always ready to accept new challenges: creativity can and must create impact.
