CV & BIO
Rooted in Lisbon, I'm deeply invested in UI/UX and product design with an occasional fintech SaaS focus. Over the span of my 15-year career, I've established and steered design collectives, crafted products from scratch, and formulated versatile design structures. I take pride in distilling complex business challenges into intuitive interfaces that stimulate engagement and conversion.
When I'm not refining user experiences, I'm riding the waves, gambiting over a chessboard, or competing on the table tennis court.
