Who we are
A fully remote creative digital agency
Concealed was created in João Saraiva’s living room table in 2017 with the goal of assembling a fully remote team that would live their best life while delivering their best work.
“Despite my professional skills being mainly as a developer I always had a strong passion for design and how these two areas should be combined together. Concealed was born out of that passion with the vision to work in the “shadows” and allowing the work that we do shine by itself. We love to work in different products from diverse areas: share your idea with us so that we can surprise you.”
João Saraiva, CEO-Founder
Core Values
The principles that guide us
Communicate with clarity
We talk, write, design and code in a clear way, so that information is always accessible.
Trust
We trust each other to manage our time and energy in a way that lets us achieve our best quality of life.
Empathy
Caring for one another allows us to live less stressful, happier lives.
Continuous Improvement
We study and experiment until we find the best process and solution for each new challenge, and then we share our findings with the team so that they improve along with us.
Integrity
We use our moral compass in every decision, opting to be straightforward, just and fair, and honoring our commitments every time.
High quality work
When we communicate with clarity, trust each other, are empathic with our colleagues and work together with integrity to get better everyday, the outcome is amazing.

2021 Retreat: Alvor
Our 2021 team retreat was filled with amazing views and activities. From working together to conquer an horror escape room to a having a superb boat excursion to the beatiful scenery of the Benagil caves, we had a great time together.
September 2021
2020 Retreat: Vilamoura
We had a blast in our 2020 retreat: we tested our physiques in a mega paintball match, sped in a karting race and had an overall great time getting together for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic.
November 2020
Remote Gatherings
Since we couldn’t get together for our quarterly dinners once the pandemic began, we came up with new remote solutions to hang out — one of them was playing some online games, like creating the best themed t-shirt design.
March 2020
2019 Retreat: Sines
The 2019 retreat had a new participant: João Ribau joined the team that year and spent a week in Sines with João, Francisco and Zola. The week was spent working, eating and drinking (local craft beer), in a very chill environment.
July 2019
2018 Retreat: Thailand
Concealed’s first team retreat was a basic FULL MONTH trip to Thailand, where Francisco and João got to eat amazing food and know some awesome elephants. Zola sat this one out as she isn’t the biggest fan of elephants.

Although João’s dog Zola was the first colleague in Concealed’s office, the team was only truly created when Francisco joined as well.
