Our Story

INSPIRED BY PORTUGUESE CULTURE, LEMA DESIGN AGENCY
IS WHERE ART & IMAGINATION COME TO PLAY.

HOW WE STARTED

My name is Andrew. Lema Design Agency is a passion project dedicated to my late grandfather,
John Lema. 

As the son of an immigrant who emmigrated to the United States from Portugal, John worked hard his entire life as a blue-collar worker to support his family. The challenges he faced were tough and often harrowing.

But, he never gave up.

He believed in the American Dream. Though he only had access to an 8th grade education, it was his mission in life to make sure his family went farther than he did.

After his death in 1993, his last wish—unknown to anyone, was to make sure his grandchildren could afford a college tuition and graduate.

Because of him, I was able to pursue my dream. I graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a B.A. in Advertising & Minor in Digital Photography and it changed my life forever.

This agency is a tribute to him.
