Rita Castilho Sá Couto, also known as Rita Laranja, is a multidisciplinary designer based in Porto (PT). She works in various forms and formats across all platforms, blending the worlds of analog and digital. From idea to execution, she builds creative worlds with a strong focus on art direction.

As a printmaker, she is fascinated by various hand printing techniques; thus, most of her personal work takes the form of relief prints created using the lengthy process of lino-cutting and wood-cutting. As a result, her work is defined by the exploration of disruptive visuals with a fascination for analogue methods and imperfect results.
