Celeste Pedro is a communication designer graduated from the Fine Arts Faculty in Porto, Portugal. Her main focuses have since been typography and editorial design. While working for ten years in design agencies, she did her Master's in Design and Intermedia at the University of Barcelona. Her studies on dictionary design have led her closer to the field of History of Typography and to the engagement in various language courses, workshops and summer schools related to the edition of texts and book production. In recent years, she specialised in early printed books and palaeography while conducting her PhD research on the History of Portuguese Print Culture in the Sixteenth Century, funded by FCT. She was a post-doc researcher for the project "From Data to Wisdom. Philosophizing Data Visualizations in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity (13th-17th Century)" at the Instituto de Filosofia of the University of Porto, where she continues her work on medieval and early-modern diagrams. Celeste has recently concluded the project “Horologium Diagrams: the contribute of digital tools for the study of knowledge visualisation in the Medieval Period” with a research scholarship. In her Ciência Vitae curriculum, the most frequent terms in the context of scientific, technological and artistic-cultural output are Typography; History of Typography; Design; Communication Design; Book History; Print Culture; Databases; Information Design; Digital Tools; Digital Resources; Knowledge Transmission; Digital Archives; Data Visualization; Early Modernity; Medieval Diagrams.
