Inês Maldonado
OWNER/DESIGNER
Inês graduated in Visual Design from IADE and studied UX/UI at Edit. She headed south to study art direction in Rio de Janeiro and endured London's weather while experimenting with illustration, screen printing, letterpress and custom made stationery before moving back to Lisbon.
After a few years working for advertising agencies and architecture studios, she decided to venture solo and later she co-founded the independent collective SR/SRA .
Currently, with Atelier Maldonado she collaborates with other professionals to develop projects in the most diverse aspects of communication design, content creation, art direction and web design, with a special focus on branding for the hospitality industries.
She’s drawn to the charm of the past—the kind you can feel in the weight of a letterpressed book or the grain on a photo that tells of slower days—but also as excited for what comes next.
Her work lives in the space between, where nostalgia meets possibility.
