Born and raised in Porto (PT), I've earned my Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design and Advertising in 2013. In 2016, I made the move to Sydney where I have been living and working since.*
Several years into agency work, it was only after completing a UX Course in 2018 that I found a passion for web design and product, which has led to the digital career I’ve been pursuing until today. I’ve since undergone other specialisations in web design, webflow and am currently completing an animation (for web design) short course.
When I'm not working, my favourite things in the world are painting, scuba-diving, yoga, baking cookies and spending time with family and friends.
*I have been working remotely since mid 2021 and plan on moving back to Australia sometime this year
With 9 years of experience – 6 of them as a freelancer in various award winning agencies and boutique studios – I’ve learned to work independently to solve problems and meet deliverables, whilst keeping up to date with the latest tools and software (current favourites: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Figma and Webflow)
With a human-centered approach, I build digital spaces that are:
01 Effective at solving my clients problems;
02 Friendly, accessible experiences that respect their users️;
02 Visually appealing and bold;
03 Adaptative to all devices
