Mariana Malhão is currently working as a freelance designer and illustrator based in Porto. At first glance her work seems to be meant for children but if you look twice you may find some hidden messages.

I am Design Director and founder at .Oddity Studio. I am known for concept driven work. I believe in simple ideas that build brands stories, from strategy to visual language and tech. My designs are often described as distilled to the core essence where nothing can be added or removed.  My work was appreciated by international design associations such as D&AD, One Show, Art Directors Club, Asia Pacific Awards and Hong Kong GDA.

She formerly served as Director of First Year Advising at Parsons School of Design and Eugene Lang College at The New School (NYC). Jen is a partner at Dan Golden Studio and Director at Curator.site.

I’m a British citizen currently studying product design at the Akershus Oslo University College. At the age of 4 my parents took me to Lanzarote, which was a pretty funky place to grow up! I moved to Oslo 11 years ago, where I worked as Harbourmaster at the Royal Norwegian Yachtclub until starting studying. I haven’t really found any nieche yet, but I enjoy trying to incorporate feelings into my work and trying to design an experience instead of just a product. I’m very inspired by my surroundings. I suppose I’m on some kind of creative journey at the moment, but I don’t really have a clue what I’m doing or where I’m going to end up. I use humour as a defense mechanism, worry too much and cry when I watch soppy movies.
