Our Story
Having both worked in offices for years, Fernando and Amir decided it was time to jump into doing something they were passionate about. After a backpacking trip of almost three months in Central America, they came back to Lisbon and started working away on creating a book each. Managing to cover the printing costs through crowdfunding, Majericon gave birth to its first two publications – a photographic tile book and an illustrated guide.
