About Ines Matos

Senior Communication/Brand Designer at LeanIX

From Portugal to Düsseldorf, Cologne and back to Düsseldorf, I came to Germany to find better weather...not! I came to Germany to explore a new culture and to develop my professional skills.

I’m an experienced senior communication design professional, well versed in many different design areas from print to digital, including branding, image edition, illustration, packaging, events, reports, corporate presentations and anything that needs a creative mind behind it! Passionate about editorial design and typography, my inspiration is the result of doing what I love for a job mixed together with my other passions: baking, yoga, knitting, hiking, go to concerts and travelling.

While my design skills are solid, I’m also great at working with people. In both my current and previous roles I have worked closely with internal and external clients to develop concepts, set deadlines and manage workflows. Often this involved helping clients to articulate what it was that they wanted, which frequently involved expressing my own creative vision. I consider myself a highly organised person and am comfortable juggling a complex workload with multiple deadlines. The last years I have been working along with young and new designers, onboarding them to the design working world and to support them develop into what they want to grow professional and personally.

Our path is defined by us and all the experiences and people we meet along the way. And I believe we all have something to give to one another.
