Frederico Arouca

 

I started to study Visual Communications in 1990, my career as a Creative Designer started in 1998 when I received my degree in Visual Communications from the Institute of Visual Arts, Design and Marketing (www.iade.pt) in Lisbon, Portugal. Since then I’ve had the privilege to work for many different advertising and production companies, developing and perfecting my skills in graphic design and visual communication through big national and global brands such as Ericsson, Nissan, IBM, Cisco, Samsung and Adidas.

 

Before I started working in Sweden in August 2012 at IKEA of SWEDEN and in the IKEA Communications, I spent six years as an Art Director and Event Designer at the best Portuguese event company Desafio Global Ativism, received the award for the best event agency of europe in 2011. There I was responsible for the complete creative process for various accounts – from creating the artwork needed to finalize layouts and marketing materials for print production.

 

I’m responsible, perfectionist and very hard worker. I like teamwork spirit, also helping and coaching others. I’m able to work with "multi-tasking", and work in a fast paced with a positive attitude.

 

Visual communication is one of my biggest passions in life. Over the years I’ve proved to myself and others – that I’m able to create, produce and finalize big artwork projects for a wide range of clients, with a great result.
