Digital Product Designer in Lisbon

About

I'm an experienced Lead Product Designer with over 12 years of industry know-how. I've got a track record of teaming up with folks from all walks of the work-world and whipping up innovative solutions for clients around the globe.
My specialty? Tackling those head-scratching, complex challenges and seeing a product from its very first spark of an idea to its grand launch.
What really gets my creative juices flowing? Crafting designs that put the user front and center, and I'm always on the lookout for ways to make the user experience even better in everything I get involved with.

Projects

2023

Whilst working at &us, we've taken the challenge of helping HP design a platform for Data Scientists.
The platform enables data scientists to work smarter, not harder, by streamlining workflows, providing real-time insights, and automating repetitive tasks. This will not only save valuable time and resources, but also improve the accuracy and reliability of data-driven decisions.

Our mission was to empower data scientists with the tools and resources they need to succeed in today's rapidly-evolving data landscape.

2022
Design Thinking Toolkit at HP

This project was part of a wider partnership between &us and HP.

How it started: We initiated the project with a series of workshops aimed at gaining a deeper insight into their workflows and the stakeholders involved, effectively identifying pain points and areas of opportunity within the team.

How it evolved: 
-Daily co-creation sessions and workshops
-Creating and testing prototypes 
-Building capability + instilling confidence across research + design -Running 30+ user testing sessions
-Building out 21 Design Thinking template activities
-Creating a website focusing on the 6 stages of Design Thinking

Our impact (on individuals): 
-We've built loads of confidence and gave individuals the opportunity to practice new skills
-We've brightened days by encouraging cameras on, conversations and lighthearted fun and just being good people to work with.
Our impact (on the organisation):
-Raised the standards by delivering high quality work quickly and telling good stories
-Established tools and best practices for teams to follow and lean on
-Helped large teams make decisions quickly (eg: 20 people aligning on a new service in 3 weeks)
