Paper, design & handmade things made to be celebrated
At Hey Picotado!, we create handmade and illustrated paper pieces for your home, parties and special moments. From colourful posters and illustrated postcards to unique cake toppers and paper decorations, every piece is designed and made with care in Portugal.
Paper is at the heart of everything we do. We cut, layer, assemble and finish each piece by hand, creating designs with depth, texture and character. We love turning a simple sheet of paper into something special, whether it’s a little detail for a celebration, a piece of decoration for your home or a paper keepsake to treasure.
Our work is all about originality, thoughtful design and the joy of making things by hand. No mass production, just carefully crafted paper goods made to bring a little more colour, personality and joy to everyday moments.
About me
Hello! I’m Daniela, a designer, maker, and paper enthusiast.
With a background in graphic design and digital experiences, I work across graphic, web and digital design, currently as a UX/UI designer. I created Picotado · Design Studio & Crafts, a project where communication design met handmade production.
Hey Picotado! is a natural evolution of that path. Here, I transform paper into meaningful pieces, where every cut, layer, and detail is made with time, care, and intention.

Timeline
2014
Picotado · Design Studio & Crafts was born in Travessa de Cedofeita 49, in downtown Porto, as a small space that combined a design studio with a craft shop.
2015
The studio moved to Rua da Maternidade 124, right in the heart of Porto’s Art District.
2016
Picotado evolved. The physical shop closed, and the focus shifted entirely to digital design and online sales.
2023
Picotado · Design Studio & Crafts became Two-ist Studio, and with that, Hey Picotado! was born. A new chapter that lovingly preserves almost 10 years of history and opens the door to something new.
2025
Hey Picotado! launches its online store, bringing its pieces even closer to those who love them.
