Hi! My name is Celeste, I'm a communication designer graduated from the Fine Arts Faculty in Porto, Portugal. My main focuses have since been typography and editorial design. I hold a master’s in Design and Intermedia from the University of Barcelona, and my studies on dictionary design have led me closer to the field of the History of Typography and to the engagement in various language courses, workshops, and summer schools related to the edition of texts and book production. I specialised in early printed books and palaeography while conducting my PhD research on the History of Portuguese Print Culture in the Sixteenth Century, funded by FCT.
I was a contract researcher for the project "From Data to Wisdom - Philosophizing Data Visualizations in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity (13th-17th Century)" at the Institute of Philosophy of the University of Porto, where I continue my work on medieval and early modern diagrams.
In 2023, I concluded the project “Horologium Diagrams: the contribution of digital tools for the study of knowledge visualisation in the Medieval Period” with a research scholarship. Recently, I was PI of the project "The Midnight Rotating Tree: collective gallery" funded by the Institute of Philosophy/FCT.
