From a young age, I found joy in the simple pleasures of crafting paper toys from centerfolds in magazines. Growing up in a household where fancy gifts were scarce, I turned to my imagination, finding treasures in everyday objects like spools of thread scattered around my mother's dressmaking studio.
Painting, drawing, and exploring creativity became my pastimes, shaping the imaginative spirit that defines me today. Throughout my school years, I naturally gravitated towards unconventional thinking, particularly in art classes, where my creative projects consistently stood out.
While my peers pursued sports and hobbies, my interests leaned towards museums and collecting records, reflecting my passion for the arts and music. When it was time for University, I chose architecture for its boundless creativity and diversity. Diving into subjects like landscaping and industrial design fuelled my fascination, but it was visual communication that truly captured my heart. I decided to specialise in this field, envisioning a lifelong pursuit of creative expression.
Post-graduation, I ventured into advertising agencies, where I immersed myself in graphic design softwares, bringing my ideas to life with each project.
A great opportunity arose when I was the driving force behind the creation and art direction of visuals for a prestigious architecture and interior design event, a solo endeavour that proved immensely successful and increased my confidence to embark on a freelance career.
Since then, I've been fortunate to collaborate with remarkable clients, embracing diverse design opportunities that ignite my passion. Immersed in the creative process, I enter a state of flow, revealing in the transformation of ideas into tangible creations. Witnessing the delight in my clients' eyes as their visions exceed expectations brings me immense satisfaction.
For me, creativity isn't just a skill—it's a way of life. Whether crafting paper toys as a child or bringing visions to life on a computer screen today, I find fulfilment in every step of the creative journey.
I am an Brazilian / Australian citizen.

Fernando created the logo and style for Samsn, Survivors & Mates Support Network. The founders of this support group are inspired with the result, especially his poignant inclusion of a riderless tricycle. One contact said that seeing this image brought tears to his eyes as he wondered: Where’s the little boy?
That is the kind of interest and dedication that Fernando brings to his work, he seeks to understand what is needed and then, in a professional and concerned way, listens to his client’s goals, offers his ideas and provides feedback on how best to proceed.
His artwork features prominently on our website and has been used by local newspaper ads offering our services. Fernando’s enthusiasm for our project and his skill in bringing together the graphic elements has surely helped us in achieving success.

Fernando Miranda’s work is innovative, insightful, and sophisticated.
His design captures the essence of my business in a way that is unique and outstanding. After one consult he conceptualized my ideas in ways I could never myself have come up.
The design is refreshing and new, and instantly attracted many new customers. It was a great part of making my business a success.

The work developed by Fernando Miranda has great importance as it allows the creation of a new identity and presentation for many companies and professionals.
This work has complemented the work of our architecture office, for our intervention in the physical space becomes more efficient when the visual identity of the company or professional follows the same language.
Efficiency, good customer service, and competence are the reasons that allow this partnership to be successful.

I chose Fernando because of his amazing work which I saw on his website. I liked his ideas, designs and simplicity where I can see the beauty. Already first meeting with Fernando left a big impression and feeling in me that he is the right person for my business and it is going to be him who will help me on my way to achieve a successful business. After few meetings I have received first designs and I knew that my decision was right. The visual communication (like Fernando calls it) was perfect! All his work what he has done and still doing for me is amazing. The design exactly describes my philosophy of training, me as a person and a trainer. Fernando works very professionally and with passion and effort to design the client’s needs.
