Who I Am

Hi, I’m Salva ( Nuno Salvaterra).
I’m a designer and creative director driven by craft, technology, culture,
and always guided by simple human truths.

I was born and raised in Cascais, a small seaside town just outside Lisbon – Portugal,
where I grew up with an amazing mom who taught me the passion for food, creativity, and hard work.

What I Do

Over the years, I’ve been lucky to work with incredible people and teams, creating work recognized at Cannes,
D&AD, One Show, Clio, NY Festival, and El Ojo. Back home in Portugal, I’ve also been awarded twice
as Best Creative Director and four times as part of the Best Agency of the Year at CCP.

I like ideas that move people, whether they make you think, smile, or see the world a little differently.
I believe creativity lives in the balance between analog craft and digital innovation.

I build brands, design systems, and experiences that connect design, behavior, and technology,
from identity and motion to digital products and tools.

I’m fascinated by the evolving role of AI in creativity and how it reshapes the way we make and think,
creating work that crosses boundaries and puts brands in conversation with culture.
