I am a Portuguese Digital Designer with a hybrid background: while taking a degree in architecture, making interactive cutting edge project has been my passion since early age. I started my first company when I was 20 years old, and since then, I have been improving my skills through self taughting and working in different environments.My career began when I started Forsight, in 2005, a company skilled on developing projects in the 3D architecture environment. In 2009 I decided to move away from architecture and focus purely on web design and since then I have worked as a UX/UI designer for digital agencies and startups.In 2012 I moved to London to improve my knowledge, and to have an experience outside Portugal. I worked in all sort of projects, in multidisciplinary teams, both in agencies and startups. Being always a design driven person, I started developing my code skills while working for Dachis Group, so I could have more control through the entire design process. This knowledge led me to the position of Senior Lead Designer at Ultimate Fan Live, a real-time fantasy football game for iOS.After two and half years in London, I was invited to move to Miami to join Fusion Media Group. Being one of the fast growing startups at the time, I had the opportunity to use and further develop my previous knowledge and experience. My role as Senior Digital Designer inside the Interactive team enabled me to implement and consolidate my skills, both as Designer and Developer.
