BACKGROUND
My design journey began at 5, I miniaturized food packages, drew tiny logos and even currency for my "doll business". I melted my toys to make new "better"ones.
By 15, I was accepted into a private technical graphic design school, where I learned about offset printing, typesetting, analog photography and fine arts. I explored my art skills to support my education.
After completion, I freelanced as a Graphic Designer and then pursued a BSc in Design and Multimedia to include digital design in my skillset — unwittingly entering Portugal's first program blending AI, Data Science, and Design back in 2009.
I earned a scholarship, contributed to a research lab developing human interaction technology, freelanced, led art workshops, and launched my designer toy brand.
After graduation, I moved to London, gained valuable professional experiences, met and worked with talented individuals, even met some idols.
Besides London & Portugal, I also lived in Mexico and various countries in Asia, and freelanced globally.
TODAY
I've been lucky enough to have had a great variety of experiences across many sectors and digital products, I’ve led and collaborated with matrixed teams, from developers, designers and strategists to researchers and executives, for agencies, start-ups, remotely and in-person, B2C, B2C
In parallel with product and UI/UX design duties, I conduct UI/UX assessments and interviews, implement holistic improvements, QA, and build robust Design Systems using an atomic methodology.
My experience extends to illustration, motion, print, concept development, art direction, branding, advertising, with a solid grasp of social media marketing, SEO, eCommerce and technical analysis. Additional training covers NLP, Color Theory, adv. Biogeometry and adv typography. Recently, I completed a Figma cohort, delved into SAAS with AI, explored spatial design, and integration of 3D into UI/UX environments.
I'm a seasoned design mentor at Design Lab and I frequently work and adapt to the forefront of tech innovation, this versatility allows me to deliver end-to-end projects.

PHILOSOPHY
My approach is rooted in design-thinking and merges technology literacy, technical skills, and empathy. I believe the intentional use of ratios, shape, motion, colour, and rhythm impacts the human condition and my curiosity lies in designing this impact to be functional, valuable and beautiful.
I believe that we, the workers of the digital world bear a significant moral, ethical and technical responsability for the future, I'm passionate about contributing my share,
