With 5+ years of experience in Media, Branding, UX/UI and Digital Product Design
My vast experience across corporate, startup and even nonprofit environments has made it easier for me to adapt faster to any situation I found myself in.
As a detail-oriented person, I have a keen eye for spotting issues that others might not see. I don't know how to explain it, except for the fact that my eyes go straight to them. From bugs to CSS inconsistencies to flaws in systems that need to be fixed. Believe me, I will find them. “One way, or another, I’m gonna find ya”. Got the reference? 👀
With a proactive problem-solving mindset and a systems thinking approach, my expertise ensures that every interaction is thoughtfully designed, consistent, scalable and user-friendly across multiple platforms, from web to mobile.
Deep down, I just want to make products smarter, smoother and more human, so I’m currently on a journey to make AI my new companion on that mission. Are you in? 🚀
Design that feels collaborative
I believe in a cross-functional environment where everyone is heard and teams work toghether towards the same goal.
Not only in business, but in life itself, and that’s one of the reasons why I’ve been volunteering for some years now, for causes I believe in and want to be part of.
So apart from my full-time job, I'm also currently a volunteer Multidisciplinary Designer at VERDE. 💚
VERDE
Association for the Integrated Conservation of Nature
VERDE is a nonprofit organization created to integrate the conservation and regeneration of nature into the routine of the Portuguese people.
We know that nature has the magic to make each cycle happen by itself, which is why we have a specialized team working directly in the field to support it with the minimum of intervention, for maximum preservation. Contributing to the maintenance of ecosystems and the harmony of the human–nature relationship.
I’m driven by positive impact, so it has been an honor to be part of such a talented team and contribute to a more conscious society.
