Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, and based in New York, I'm a product designer with over a decade of experience shaping complex consumer and platform experiences.

I gravitate toward open-ended product challenges: translating ambiguous requirements into thoughtful, research-driven solutions that serve both user needs and business objectives without compromising on craft. I've spent my career partnering closely with product, engineering and research teams at organizations like PayPal, Google, Magic Leap, Work & Co and R/GA, turning ambiguous product challenges into polished, shippable experiences.

More recently, I've been deep in AI-adjacent work; designing new interaction patterns, building coded prototypes, and using AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Replit and Flora as part of my workflow.

This website was built by me, with a little help from Cursor and Claude. I started on March 12th, 2026 and wrapped it up roughly 48 hours later.

For the stack: Astro handles the site generation, everything is versioned with Git, and deployed via Vercel.

The site is set entirely in System Blank Medium by Frost Type. Animations were crafted in Jitter and LottieLabs.
