Why work
with me

Two decades, three continents

20+ years designing across agencies, product teams and freelance — for clients in Portugal, the UK and the US. Wherever you are, I've probably already shipped in your timezone.

Strategy, not just pixels

I design for outcomes, not decoration. Every screen starts from your business goals and your users' real needs — so the work moves the numbers, not just the mood board.

Systems that scale

I don't hand over one-off pages. I build design systems and component libraries your team can keep extending for years — without the experience quietly drifting apart.

End to end, one designer

Research, UX, UI, motion and developer hand-off — one person across the whole journey, so nothing gets lost in translation between stages.

Built for hand-off

Clean files, documented components and clear developer specs. What you approve in design is what ships — pixel for pixel, no surprises.

A real collaborator

I work inside your team, not at arm's length — reviews, workshops and honest feedback. The best work comes from many carefully considered conversations.
