Mafalda Quintela

Independent Creative Director, Mafalda&Francisco

Mafalda Quintela is a Creative Director with over 15 years of experience shaping brands, campaigns and all sorts of ideas. After building her career across some of Lisbon’s leading agencies, she co-founded Mafalda&Francisco with her long-time creative partner.
Mafalda&Francisco is an independent creative direction duo working at the intersection of branding, communication and experience, focusing on crafting ideas that travel across platforms and formats. Beyond client work, they also develop independent cultural projects — including a cultural brand, a festival and a pen-pal challenge.
From global brands to local challengers — including Vodafone, UNICEF, LIDL, L’Oréal, EDP, Samsung, TAP, Jeep and Alfa Romeo — their work spans campaigns, brand systems, activations and everything in between.
Recognized at major festivals such as Cannes, Webby Awards, El Sol and CCP, she also serves on the board of Clube da Criatividade de Portugal.
