About

I've been designing and shipping products for 8+ years, for companies like Almetra AI, Digimarc and MarvelX. I also co-founded the social tech startup Felloz and led the product team that helped us reach a €2.5M valuation.

I love working on hard problems, the ones most people call impossible. Being a designer teaches you a lot about what people think they need and what they actually need. It taught me empathy. And empathy isn't about squeezing more money out of a user. It's about solving a problem that might change someone's daily routine.

In my free time I do endurance sports like Ironmans and ultramarathons, and I run a padel community in Lisbon.
