Margarida Reis
@margaridareis
Multidisciplinary creative specializing in design, motion graphics, and video, driven by sustainable storytelling and collaboration.
What I'm looking for
I’m a multidisciplinary creative with a strong focus on design, video, and motion graphics, driven by a belief in sustainable change and the power of visual storytelling to give space to diverse perspectives. With over a decade of freelance and agency work, I deliver creative solutions in international, remote environments—bringing clients’ visions to life through branding, motion design, video, and animation.
Most recently, I led design as Head of Design at Storians, UK (Jul 2022–Jul 2023), overseeing branding, editorial and web design, digital illustration, print, motion graphics, video editing, and social media content. Earlier, I worked as a multi-skilled creative for Heavyweight Creative and as a Senior Graphic Designer across branding, editorial, campaigns, packaging, and web design, consistently pairing hands-on detail with clear communication, strong organization, and time management.
