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 site was built with Cursor and Claude, generated with Astro, versioned in Git, and deployed on Vercel. The type is System Blank Medium by Frost Type. Animations were made in Jitter and LottieLabs.
