I'm a 26-year-old Product Designer focused on solving everyday problems through human-centered design. I studied Product Design and later Product Engineering to bridge user needs with production realities, and I'm currently applying those skills as a Product Designer at Bosch Security and Safety Systems in Ovar. My journey has included internships at Design Factory Aveiro during my master's thesis, a year-long artistic residency at Espaço Serra in Leiria, and a Product Development internship at Ceramiche Rometti in Umbertide, Italy. I also spent time in a part-time role at Esplanada Jardim in Porto de Mós and worked three years picking fruit in Bombarral. I'm part of the Pacato Collective since 2017, and I enjoy drawing, music production, cycling, and collaborating with teams to turn ideas into tangible products.
