Work that still runs

Eight projects, 2023 — 2026. Most are still running somewhere: a museum wall, a record label’s homepage at 3 a.m.

(02) Featured case

Casa das Marés: a logo that checks the tide.

Client: Casa das Marés, Lisbon
Scope: Identity system, signage, web
With: Tomás Leal (type), Halde (print)
Year: 2026

01 / Listen

Start with the water, not a moodboard.

The museum sits on the Tagus, and its gauge has logged the river every six minutes since 1972. Before drawing anything, I plotted twenty-four days of it.

02 / Bend

Wrap each day around a clock.

Bent into a circle, a tide becomes a signature: two highs, two lows, and a wobble that never quite repeats. Noon sits at the top.

03 / Repeat

One mark per day. 365 a year.

Every morning gets its own mark, drawn from that day’s water. The logo stopped being a file and became a timetable.

04 / Live

Published at 06:00, by a script.

It renders the day’s mark to signage, tickets and the site before the doors open. Front-of-house calls it “the weather”.

365: Marks a year
214: Lines of code
0: Logo files

Playground

Small experiments I keep around because each one taught me something a client later paid for. They all work. Go on.

(04) About

I’m Iris, a developer who designs, or a designer who ships; I stopped choosing around 2017. I trained as an architect in Porto, lost a whole summer to a Processing sketch, and have spent the years since making screens behave like materials. I work alone, on purpose: one person, one inbox, and every line written by the hands you hired. I care about the thirty milliseconds between a touch and a response, and about leaving you with systems that run without me.
