About
Levering my skills in branding, visual design, and UI/UX design, I’ve consistently empowered a diverse range of brands by crafting meaningful and impactful user interactions and experiences. My curiosity and penchant for logical thinking have led me from a graphic design background to digital design projects, and now I'm fully immersed in product design. I’m from Porto, Portugal and on my free time, I like to be with my friends and read while hanging out with my two cats. I’m also learning French: ooh la la.
