Startup designer in Portugal (UTC+1)

Hey 👋 I'm a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience, on a mission to make digital experiences as enjoyable as finding extra crisps at the bottom of the bag _(you know the feeling, right?)_. Born and raised in Portugal, my professional journey has taken me across borders. I've had the privilege of working in France, Spain, the UK, and now remotely 🌍. These experiences have not only broadened my design perspective but also allowed me to collaborate with exceptionally talented individuals. Previously, I designed A/B test features, collaborating actively with data analysts, product managers, engineers, and stakeholders. This collaboration aimed to drive conversions, enhance the user experience, and meet or exceed user expectations.
