Alda Silva’s Summary

So far, I have worked as a Multimedia Developer, Designer - both graphic, including Final-arts, and web -, Contents Manager and Journalist.
I look forward to work in Multimedia, Design and Contents Management, as well as Photography.

So far, I have had the opportunity of dealing with different workflows, which is something I consider very empowering, since the understanding of the workflow and deadlines is a base-stone on every company or project.

I organized my first exhibition, "Reminiscências", last year. It was composed by myself only, showing 20 photos with a designer touch.
