Chatting with: Vera Dias Pinheiro

Vera Dias Pinheiro has it’s Virtual Office at LACS Conde D’Óbidos and we went to find out more about their day-to-day work as a Digital Creator.

My company is me. Someone who helps to tell other people stories, build their presence in the digital and capture the essence of their audience. The trips, the experiences of living outside my country, uprooting myself to take root and adapt to environments and cultures different from mine, lose the support network and leave my comfort zone, reflects the person I am today and turned to be my best “tools” to understand the others around me.
