About
I’m a software designer based in Portugal, working remotely worldwide. For nearly a decade I’ve been helping businesses to shape their digital transformation and making ideas go from 0 to 1 in FinTech, EdTech, IoT and SaaS for consumers and B2B. While working for consulting agencies I've been able to deal with various industries and areas of expertise actively contributing for the launch of several products.
I live in the north side of Portugal with my wife, 2 kids and my dog. Out of office I ride my gravel bike, run, draw, photograph and fail trying to produce lo-fi beats.
Work Experience
As Senior Product Designer, I’ve been helping companies such as Risk Management Solutions, Bain & Company, Investcorp, Bruvi, Thinkster, TTX and more to build meaningful digital products, delightful experiences and Design Systems that besides solving the visual aspect, are showing conversion results. I also did workshops, helping on problem solving, brainstorming, conceptualization, product strategy and generating quick prototypes and POCs to validate ideas in an agile way.
As Senior Product Designer, I’ve designed several digital products and helped companies such as FNAC, FC Porto, Valencia FC, Grupo Renascença and Portuguese Football Federation on digital transformation and strategy.
As Lead Mobile Experience Designer, my job was to design the platform mobile experience with native mobile apps for iOS and Android.
Being responsible for brand and communication design, I had the opportunity to work for some of the biggest Portugal brands, helping on their communication strategy and also some emerging companies defining their visual identity and digital presence.
Education
The degree was heavily focused in all type of interactive surfaces and technologies. I had the opportunity to learn and discuss art, design and computer science with mentors and industry experts. I joined a research program that was exploring the opportunity of interacting with public displays. My thesis on “Mobile Interface Design: Instant Places Mobile Application Case” can be consulted and downloaded at hdl.handle.net/1822/30419
Mainly focused on Graphic Design history and craft, on this course I had the opportunity to learn from industry experts and put that knowledge into real world situations.
On High School I was mostly focused in art as I wanted to be a painter.
