The Ocean’s Call

Brand Designer in Portugal, where strategy meets soul.

I’m Janine, mountain-born, ocean-called!

A brand designer living by the Atlantic in Portugal. For more than ten years I’ve helped women-led, sustainable and wellbeing businesses turn who they are into a clear, premium presence.

Design, for me, isn’t decoration.

It’s direction: honest, spacious and true to your essence.

I was born in the mountains,

yet my soul always belonged to the sea.

That quiet call led me across continents, from Austria to Australia, New Zealand and Spain - until I found my home by the Atlantic coast of Portugal.

Here, where the horizon meets the ocean, I found what I was searching for: freedom, flow and clarity. The same qualities I now bring to my design work.

The sea became my greatest teacher.

It showed me that design, like water, must breathe, move and stay true to its essence.

Design that breathes like the ocean

For more than 10 years, I’ve worked as a designer. Guiding brands from their first ideas to full, confident visibility.

I bring together creativity, empathy and a 360° strategic view to help women-led, sustainable and wellbeing brands express who they truly are.

My work bridges strategy and aesthetics:

✺ BRAND DESIGN that translates your values into timeless visuals.

✺ WEBSITE DESIGN that gives your business an elegant, functional home.

✺ CREATIVE DIRECTION that keeps every detail aligned. From colours and fonts to storytelling and social media.

Every project I take on is a partnership. I listen deeply, ask the right questions, and create from the inside out — so your brand feels just as alive as the work you do.
