Info
During my time at United By, I had the opportunity to participate in the refurbishment of 14 spaces within Portugal dos Pequenitos, a miniature park with a playful, educational, and touristic purpose, dedicated to showcasing Portuguese culture and heritage both nationally and internationally.
These spaces allude to Portugal’s maritime relations with other countries, and the challenge was to create small museums that tell the stories of these cultures. This project was a multidisciplinary collaboration, involving not only our internal team at United By but also teams for content, assembly, production, and multimedia. This work allowed me to have a multifaceted role, from the conception and design of each space, to graphic design for printed panels and digital interactions, overseeing production and producing editorial content. It was an exciting challenge given its scale, allowing me to explore various areas of design and expand my skills.
The experience of working on this significant and complex project was invaluable for both my professional and personal development.
