About Joana
Intro
Hi, I’m Joana Ray, a Portuguese freelance illustrator/designer.
I’m from Alcobaça and here I lived until it was time to go to the university.
After that I traveled a bit to study (Barcelona) and work (Venezia) and eventually came back.
As an illustrator I’ve been lucky enough to work on all kinds of projects – kids’ books for the smallest publisher in the world, posters for awesome rock parties, lettering and illustrations for a cool mural, album art for cosmic music from a distant galaxy and animation for a short-movie.
But I also love and work in the multimedia universe – I graduated in New Communication Technologies at the University of Aveiro and have been working as a web-designer and front-end developer since 2007.
I’m fascinated by accessibility, responsive design and progressive enhancement.
You can check some of that work here, and if you’re curious, I have a sandbox dedicated to silly projects and exercises I do to keep up with web development as much as I can (it’s really hard though… Feels like there’s something new to tackle every day).
I’m currently available for new projects, so feel free to contact me (even if it’s just to say “Hey girl!”) – ring-a-ding-ding
