The Story
I'm Tiago. My background is in architecture, a discipline that grounded me in precision, spatial logic, and the relationship between form and function. Over time, illustration and design grew from a side interest into my primary language, leading me to establish t.mpo studio in 2019.
My work explores how images are built, what they carry, and what remains when they are stripped back to their essentials. I look for the tension between organic forms and geometric structure, using patterns, lines, and textures as my building blocks.
This practice centers on a tailored approach, ensuring every project is the result of a shared vision and deep collaboration. I'm always available for commissions, collaborations, or simply a conversation worth having.
At the intersection of history and modern form, the work explores the texture of time and the precision of the line. By balancing function with geometric structure, space and image are stripped of their layers to reveal the essential narrative underneath.

Design on screen.
Years of props and set-dressing design through SP Televisão and Coral Europa, with work featured in shows aired on TVI, SIC, RTP, Prime Video, and Netflix.
The work is the same spatial logic that runs through the rest of the studio, only tuned to camera: every object needs to read, carry a story, and hold its own inside a frame.
On A Lista, a Coral Europa production on Prime Video, the work pulled double duty: props and set design from the studio job, and five personal illustrations licensed as set artwork — featured on the homepage.
