Biography
I’m working as a Ui/Ux Designer for Lightheart Entretainment helping with interfaces, wireframes, user flows and some art assets as well -- we are currently working on the Spanky Zombie Slayer Game
In 2022, I also finished my Design Interaction Master Degree at Faculdade de Arquitectura de Lisboa, where I’ve learned methodologies that complement my experience in this field, improving on technics in User Interface, User Research, Analysing User Experience and learning to create a project from start to finish.
I love UI/UX Design because it encapsulates everything that I love doing. You have to think about what specific goal the product aims to help, what specific people that problem affects and how they will use it. It is a mixture of Storytelling of the User Experience, and then involves Brand design and trying to create Systems with Illustration, Animation and other visual cues that enhances the “message” the product means to give. I’ve written this blog entry where I go into detail on how I tackle a UI/UX Design Project.
My latest personal work is Ice-Quebras , a table party game to help anyone, be them introverted, anxious or extroverted, to get to know each other and new people without feeling anxious, nervous or stressed out.
You can see my portfolio for my favourite works. I post most of my illustrations at my Instagram and Artstation .
