Hi there! Thanks for stopping by.
My name is Patrícia Figueiredo and I have been dedicating some of my time doing Illustration and Animation. I am currently based in Porto and I have a three legged cat and frequent hiccups.
If you wish to talk about a project or have any question don't hesitate to contact me.
Some cartoons and random stuff on Instagram
And a page that will eventually be updated with more recent work, on Vimeo
