Über mich

I'm a digital designer with 15+ years of experience. After several years working in ad agencies as a lead web designer and project manager, I started to focus my work on product design. I worked with awesome brands in a variety of industries from wines, craft beer and sports to hospitality, from transportation and hospitals to telecommunications, from banks and fintech to pharmaceutical, and from social media to online shopping. To name a few: Metro do Porto, Entel Chile, BAWAG P.S.K., Graham's Port, IPO - Porto, Livraria Lello, Bial Pharmaceutical, Craft Beer Nortada and XING. Currently, I'm working as a UX Architect at Mercedes-Benz.
