Frame your vision with my designs.

I´m a senior UX and product designer based in Oporto.

I have been making a career in Visual and UX design mobile apps for tech startups and companies. I´ve been producing tasks related to design systems, design research, interaction, product development, user flow, user experience, low and high-fidelity prototypes, UI animation prototype, and User testing.

In parallel to this, I have worked with international corporate brands and medium and big companies to work as a Branding designer, Graphic marketing assets designer, and also editorial designer.

I can be as involved in your project as you need me to be, from the seed of the idea until user testing. I am most interested in the visual product app with user interaction concerns. I seek user-based problem-solving to understand needs and provide clear and impactful solutions.

Soft Skills

More than motivated, I am determined in life and at work.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams and be open to feedback and suggestions.

Think creatively to develop innovative designs that meet the client’s needs.

Have a keen eye for detail to ensure all brand assets are consistent and visually appealing.

Manage my time effectively, prioritize tasks, and meet project deadlines.

Able to put myself in the user’s shoes and design with their needs and preferences in mind.

Although my spoken English is not very good, I communicate effectively with clients and team members.

Depending on the project, here are some of my used methods:

• User research to gain insights into the user’s needs, goals, and pain points. This can include interviews, surveys, usability testing, and other techniques.
• Information architecture explains how I organize the content and structure of the website or application to create an intuitive user experience.
• Wireframes to show how I create wireframes to represent the layout and functionality of the design and how it evolved throughout the design process.
• Prototyping to highlight the different iterations I created to test and refine the design.
• An organized visual design, usually with a design system with typography, colour, imagery, and other visual elements that make the design appealing, consistent and user-friendly.
• Usability testing can include examples to validate the design with users and improve based on their feedback.
• The notion is the tool where I do the project management and note-taking software. Coordinating deadlines, goals, and tasks improves efficiency and productivity.
