miguel mendes or "migu" for short

DESIGNER, COLORIST, CINEMATOGRAPHER

Based in Portugal, Miguel crafts compelling visual narratives through a fusion of design, motion, and cinematic artistry.
Exploring the connection between design, tech and human nature to bring ideas to life.

🌱 Studied graphic design and self-taught every other skill he's found interesting and useful, Miguel co-founded Delphi Design, a studio that's part of the larger Delphi Digital group, where he's currently Head of Media and Design/Motion Generalist.

He's worked for clients such as El Corte Ingles, Carolina Herrera, Deutsche Bank, Abanca, Delphi Digital, Monad, Zenrock, Offx, DarkStudios and many others.

When not designing, Miguel loves racing and sports, and is probably out there having fun on a bike, a go-kart, bouldering or travelling.
