HELLO!
Thank you for visiting my site
Hey there! I’m Hernâni F. Tavares e Sousa, your friendly neighborhood innovator, illustrator, and surface pattern designer, hailing from the artistic land of Belgium. For over 26 years, I’ve been molding young minds in Art, History, and IT at a high school. But guess what? The entrepreneurial bug bit me early on, thanks to my creative parents who ran their own artisan business. So, you could say creativity and art have been my lifelong companions.
With a dream to turn my art into a business, I embarked on an entrepreneurial adventure. And voilà! Tasto Design was born, with my amazing wife cheering me on every step of the way. At Tasto Design, I whip up distinctive, imaginative patterns for all sorts of products, each one bursting with my artistic flair and dedication. Dive into the vibrant world of Tasto Design with me!
