About us
history & purpose
Foliosofy
[Fo • lio • so • fee]
The name comes from the words
portfolio and philosophy.
Origins
“It all began in the first decade of the second millennium. ln 2009, while I was still in high school in Pontevedra, Spain, hungry to prove myself I could get paid for doing what I love, I had my first chance to work as a freelance for a client across the Atlantic.
A year later, in Madrid, I wanted to have my own company, so I founded Freelanceritis, a somewhat playful name which reflected the point to which I was committed to my work. A few weeks after finishing my business plan, with a bit of home-made advertising, I landed my first client, whom I worked with for over a year.
ln 2014, once I got my diploma in 3D animation in Belgium, I was ready to officialise my services. So, the first version of Foliosofy was born. The name comes from two words: portfolio and philosophy. The aim was to create a portfolio of my work while at the same time sharing ideas, discoveries and lessons around my other passions: philosophy and science. I also wanted to help fellow artists to improve their portfolios by sharing with them what I’ve learnt along the way.
Several versions later and with a growing team, Foliosofy still has these goals at its core, along with helping businesses grow by providing creative digital services.”
