Get to know more about me
Hello!

Hello! I'm a visual designer, based in Lisbon (Portugal), with a background in  graphic and fashion design.
Creating visual languages and solving problems is an important part of my job, my strength lies in user experience, structured design and extremely detailed execution, for a perfect result in digital devices. I believe in clean and simple design solutions. When I create experiences, I imagine a journey for the user with a main focal point (a shape, composition, colour and usability) where everything makes perfect sense and where everyone feels comfortable.
In my spare time I enjoy traveling and taking photos, discovering other cultures and learning something new everyday.
