I GUESS YOU WILL HAVE TO MEET ME FOR A COFFEE SO YOU CAN KNOW MORE ABOUT ME...

*☕*

OKAY! I'm Mafalda Silva (b. 2002) , a designer who thrives in the space between chaos and structure. My process is instinctive, curious, and deeply personal — every project I touch carries a piece of me. While my creativity may seem unfiltered, I bring sharp organization and precision to everything I deliver.
