DDPF Catarina Careers
Who is Catarina? For us (MPL team) she is a little bit of what the brand is, since she works with us in packaging (and I can't wait to show you what's coming)!
For me she is someone I really appreciate, because of her smile, good taste and sincerity. My neighbor at the Stylista "fair" of course Catarina not only does design but also illustrations that fill the rooms in our house.
I hope you enjoy getting to know her better in this interview.
