A designer originally from sunny Portugal

Based in Amsterdam Madrid Sydney somewhere.
Available for full-time roles & freelance projects.
I believe in connecting concept-driven design with a clear strategy to build valuable brand experiences and long-lasting emotional connections..
Every project, big or small, should have a purpose. So I ask a lot of questions to get into the why and what for questions. Those insights spark what I call a fresh start of something new. I come up with concept wireframes that aim to address those goals. Then those wireframes get turned into visual interfaces, sometimes with subtle motion effects, to be prototyped and tested with real people.
So far, my design career has included strategy, branding, motion design, visual storytelling and has culminated in what I find to be the most significant challenge – UX Product Design. My multi-disciplinary Design experience comes together in the UX Design Thinking process. From the high-level strategic thinking to the tactical creation of user flows, wireframes, and prototypes; my holistic Design experience adds up to deliver thoughtful and inspiring digital products that drive value to a business.
I have specialized in crafting design experiences for over 10 years.
Can't wait to hop on a plane, again.
In life
I love learning, adventures, and ramen.
I’m the guy who is always trying to learn something new. My latest obsessions are crypto, fasting and genomics. but I have been continuously passionate about things like photographing landscapes, making DIY projects and cooking everything but Portuguese food.
Adventures can come in many shapes for me. Can be a solo endeavour with things like photographing landscapes, making DIY projects and cooking whatever (but Portuguese food). But it is more fun when the adventure means a new stamp in the passport and some shared memories.
And Ramen is, well, good design. Great origin story. Unpretentious but nevertheless sophisticated. Every detail is deliberate and thought through. The end product is more than the sum of the parts. A seamless experience for the mind and comfort for the soul
