I´ve had a happy opportunity to work with Madalena Sena a few years ago, at Sonae.
High skilled technician and a great sense of responsibility made her a great professional with very high standards.
Wouldn´t hesitate if I had to recommend her word and contribute to any person, company or project.
All this awards didn´t caught me by surprise. Nor I´ve ever doubted about her ability to turn over life´s bad turns…
When you are highly committed, focused and determinate… things happen!
Congratulations!
Muitos parabéns. É notoria a qualidade da pesquisa que dá contexto ao design.
Parabéns Madalena! Muitos parabéns!

Contrariamente ao que se verifica a nível de sentimentos, Madalena Sena, a sua arte, engenho, sensibilidade, inspiração, não têm fronteiras. Flagrante prova de tal, este “logo”, por que é responsável, “logo” magnífico, onde existe sentido de medida e distinta elegância de forma e, sem dúvida, contributo da maior valia para uma mais bem participada Conferência Mundial dos Rotários, em Lisboa.
Thank you Oscar Penayo, Fatema S Somji and Laud kpakpo Mingle. Fatema S Somji I would love to meet you too.

Madalena Sena is a great surprise: everything I have seen coming from her, from products to logos, from animations to a careful and always insightful use of words, all I have had were excellent reasons to be grateful for having had the good fortune to be able to have met her.
