I never stopped designing spaces
As a child I wanted to be an architect: to draw beautiful spaces that worked for the people living in them. My father noticed I liked computers and taught me IT, finance and administration. At 15 I was already working in an office.
I did not become an architect, but I never stopped designing spaces. First it was the shops and supermarkets where I sorted out the technology. Then the support service I built from scratch for a retail automation company, the classrooms where I taught IT to everyone from children to older adults, the shop fronts I installed for a print shop and the apps I designed for people who work in the fields. Today the space I design is the path people take through a product or a service.
Some of these phases did not seem to make much sense at the time, but looking back, each one taught me an important lesson for what I do today.
The floors of this building are also the way I work
- 1ListenUnderstand what people see, what they need and how the process really works, before proposing any screen.
- 2BuildGet the idea off paper: prototype, code, test, even if it is simple.
- 3TeachMake the solution understood and adopted, with training, documentation and language people recognise.
- 4DesignBring all of this together into a whole product or service, from first contact to everyday use.
I like to think that technology is only efficient when we first understand the goals and expectations of the people who use it.
Portuguese, English and Spanish
- Portuguese
- My native language.
- English
- I read very well, write with confidence and can hold conversations on a wide range of topics. Since August 2026 I have been spending time in Northampton, England, to gain confidence in conversation by living in English.
- Spanish
- I read and understand it well; my pronunciation is rusty from lack of use. For six months I guided four-hour tours in Peneda-Gerês National Park, in Portugal, explaining each stop in Portuguese, English and Spanish to the same group.
