Miguel Soeiro & team

ZERODOIS™ is a Portuguese brand known for manufacturing modular sofas with a timeless, functional design. Each piece is crafted using high-quality European woods, foams, textiles, and leathers, brought to life by the expertise of Portuguese artisans.

To mark its 20th anniversary, founder and creative director Miguel Coimbra collaborated with New York-based Portuguese designer Sam George to refresh the brand’s identity, celebrating its heritage while positioning it for a global audience.

The redesign stays true to ZERODOIS™'s roots, focusing on evolution rather than revolution. Central to this is the emphasis on Portuguese craftsmanship, with the tagline Heartcrafted in Portugal™ becoming a cornerstone of the brand’s identity.

The fully spelled-out logo, ZERODOIS™, highlights its Portuguese origin, while the clean, minimal visual language keeps the product front and center. Inspired by the brand's upholsteries, the color palette ranges from muted and soft to bold and rich, complemented by generous white space and consistent use of Weltkern’s Lausanne typeface.

The redesign also streamlined the digital experience with a new website and social media presence that reflect the updated visual identity. Every touchpoint now aligns with the brand’s ethos, positioning ZERODOIS™ as a symbol of Portuguese craftsmanship on the global stage.

These became the core concepts of their new brand: Energy, Playfulness, and Humanity. Photography by Tessy Morelli.

MF DOOM - GAZZILLION EAR

Personal project

Designer & Art Director

2020

As if 2020 hadn't been bad enough, we also lost one of Hip Hop's most elusive, mysterious, and fascinating artists: MF DOOM. 2020 was also the 10th anniversary of one of his most iconic tracks, GAZZILLION EAR, released in 2010 and produced by another giant, J DILLA. I wanted to pay homage to his work and life by creating a set of visuals that utilize his lyrics paired together with his iconic Dr. Doom metal mask. The original mask image can be found on the artist's Bandcamp page and was modified and used without copyright. The typeface used is Söhne by Klim Type Foundry.

2019

One of the most innovative companies in the AR space engaged R/GA as a partner for all their creative needs. I was integrated into their internal design team and had the chance to help shape the new design direction for their website. I also had an active role in helping the team expand their design system, creating components, documentation and prototyping interactions for developer handoff.

Porsche 718

Campaign pitch

Rob Northam

Senior Designer

R/GA

2019

The iconic sports car brand approached R/GA to help craft a global campaign for their 718 range of models (Cayman & Boxter). The goal of the campaign was to refresh the brand positioning and ensure that Porsche is perceived as a brand that focusses on perfomance, craft and the passion of driving. This unapproved creative proposal consisted in shifting the attention from the car to the individual behind the wheel. We took the core elements of the brand such as the iconic Porsche logo, the 718 badge, their proprietary 'Porsche Next' typeface and the iconic frame print layout and pushed these elements into a new and fresh visual territory that provides a modular and flexible solution.
