I am a product designer, with 6 years of experience in two companies in the area of technical and decorative lighting, where I had the opportunity to assimilate practical knowledge in a productive context and recognize value deficits in innovation and development.I have a master's degree in design, with a post-graduation in Product and Service Innovation, a multidisciplinary and international experience that shares a strict relationship between Porto Design Factory (PT), Swinburne University (AUS), and Stanford University (USA).This academic experience made me recognize the dynamism of Design Thinking and the sinuosity of managing a multidisciplinary team. The academy taught me that this discipline is endowed with abductive and divergent thought, a cultural aggregator, a mediator of interdisciplinary knowledge, transversal, and a catalyst of innovative products with relevant socio-cultural and economic impact.I am currently a Ph.D. student in the field of Design, wanting to further my knowledge, namely in the search for meaning in the role of the Chief Design Officer (CDO), in the strategic view of a company.I'm a dedicated, creative, and thorough person, with a keen eye for out-of-the-box solutions to everyday problems, and always been in love with Design and all subjects that revolve around it.
