I’m Dalila Maganinho, an interdisciplinary designer with over 15 years of experience, working at the intersection of research, concept, and visual communication. My approach is driven by curiosity and content. I explore complex and often emotional topics such as cultural identity, emotional wellbeing, and social and educational questions, turning them into clear and engaging design experiences.
For me, each project begins with questions. I take the time to understand the context, explore different perspectives, and translate insights into meaningful visual outcomes. The format of the project depends on the message – whether it's a book, an exhibition, a visual identity, or a digital platform, I choose the best way to bring the idea to life.
I often work within the cultural, educational, and healthcare sectors, where design can foster connection, understanding, and emotional resonance. I collaborate with clients, institutions, and studios who value thoughtful design that tells stories and creates impact.
I’m available for freelance collaborations, self-initiated projects, and commission-based work with cultural, social, and educational institutions.
