I’m Ana Clode, a creative director and designer based in Aveiro. I work with small companies that have big ambitions, from producers with a century of history to brands that opened last year.

​

I trained as an architect at IST in Lisbon, then studied drawing for four years at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas Artes and painting at Central Saint Martins in London. Architecture taught me to build systems. Drawing is still how every project starts, with a pencil, before any screen.

​

I have run my own studio since 2013. Fábrica Santo António has been a client since 2017. Clients work with me directly, from the first conversation to the final file.
