I hired Marilia to create illustrations for my e-commerce business where I sell prints and t-shirts. She creates amazing symbolic designs starting from zero. Not only does she work hard, but she's also incredibly quick with her turnaround time. I'm really pleased with her illustrations and I highly recommend Marilia.

I hired Sarah as a graphic designer for my CD project, which was very personal and special to me since it involved my grandfather's poetry. She worked on the visual arts for the CD, including the front, back, and booklets, as well as a postcard for my debut concert and graphics for another single I promoted. Initially, her designs didn't match what I had in mind, but she was incredibly flexible and open to feedback. We had several discussions to align on the vision. Sarah's sensitivity to the music and message made all the difference; she captured exactly what I wanted with colors, photos, and overall ambiance. I'm really proud of how everything turned out. Communication with her was excellent—she was always available through calls or emails—and her pricing seemed fair. Overall, working with Sarah was a great experience!

I worked with Chen from Maverick Studio on a 3D render for a stand we planned to build. His work ethic and creativity were truly impressive, exceeding my expectations. The design was completed on time and played a big role in helping us secure a project with a major international client. I was very satisfied with the quality of his work; it showed outstanding creativity and technical expertise. Chen consistently delivered high-quality results, all while staying within our budget range. I would highly recommend him for any graphic design needs.

Working with Sara has been a truly rewarding experience. As a graphic designer and illustrator, she has consistently delivered exceptional work for our projects, ranging from logo design to book illustrations. Her illustrations, in particular, stand out—she recently completed a series of storybooks for a pharmaceutical company that are now being used in schools across Portugal. One of the things that set Sara apart is her problem-solving mindset. She doesn’t just come to you with questions—she gives you the problem and presents you with solutions. She thinks things through before reaching out, dives deep into the challenge, and carefully evaluates what can and cannot be done. She explores different paths, considers various approaches, and provides well-thought-out options. This proactive attitude ensures that every aspect of the project aligns with our vision without requiring constant follow-ups. While her graphic design work is impressive, she truly excels in illustration. More than that, she is a remarkably kind and professional individual. Sara is nice, polite, and highly educated—an absolute team player. She works with dedication and passion, fully invested in her craft. In fact, I don’t think Sara even realizes the true value of her work. She has fallen in love with what she does, and if she wanted to, she could have asked for more. Her commitment to deadlines, competitive pricing, and unwavering professionalism only further highlight why she is a pleasure to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara’s services to anyone in need of outstanding graphic design and illustration.

I worked with Chen from Maverick Studio on several graphic design projects, and he was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He not only followed the client's visual and corporate identity perfectly but also provided additional options that enhanced our pitch. His quick turnaround time was impressive, ensuring we never had to wait long for updates or revisions. When I couldn't complete a project last minute, Chen stepped in seamlessly, working closely with our project lead to deliver a successful outcome. He communicated clearly and professionally, always asking questions to clarify any uncertainties. Plus, his pricing was very reasonable considering the quality and extra effort he put into his work. Overall, Chen was respectful of our time and a pleasure to work with—truly a gentleman in his approach.

I've been working with Marilia for about two years now, and she's been very efficient and understanding. I own a vineyard and wanted to launch a non-alcoholic wine brand; Marilia created everything from the logo to the social media design kit. We collaborate weekly as I send her new tasks, there are some updates to design that she makes as we export our wine to several countries. Just this morning, we worked on updating our design for the Swedish market. Marilia quickly grasps what we need and delivers results efficiently at reasonable prices. Highly recommend her services!

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
