Fátima Veríssimo is a passionate creative designer and researcher. She holds a BA (Hons) in Graphic and Media Design from the London College of Communication (University of the Arts London), MA in Digital Identity Design, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Design at the University of Beira Interior. Each project she takes on is carefully selected, allowing her to explore and express ideas in a meaningful way. Studying at London College of Communication helped her conceptualize ideas and translate them into both creative communication and impactful research. In recent years, she has worked as a creative designer for various companies across different countries, including Lisbon and London. This international experience has strengthened her expertise in branding, editorial design, web, digital, social media, and motion design. Building on the strong foundations established at LCC, her extensive professional experience, and her recent progression in the PhD in Design at the University of Beira Interior, she is now ready to take the next step: advancing in her impactful research practice.
