Hello there! I'm Cátia Vide, a Portuguese illustrator and graphic designer born in 1990 in Oporto. I completed a degree in Graphic Design at the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave, and a postgraduate degree in Illustration at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto.
I've been dedicated to illustration, graphic design, training, collective exhibitions, among other pursuits, and have collaborated with magazines, publishers, companies, among others. I've published six children's books with texts by writers such as Ana Paula Oliveira and Rosa Montez, some of which have been released in Spain, Poland, the USA, and Italy.
My work has been recognized in national and international awards, including the 3x3 Contemporary Illustration Mag and Communication Arts Illustration. If you would like to work with me or just say hello, please do get in touch!
