about

Hi, I'm Joao

I'm a Product Designer who is passionate about crafting meaningful digital experiences that engage and delight.

Eight years ago, I found myself at a career crossroads. Having always been immersed in visual design and fascinated by the tech world, I naturally gravitated toward the intersection of design and technology.

Over time, I became captivated by the human side of design—how people connect with products and what makes experiences truly resonate. Now, I blend my visual design expertise with user experience insights to craft seamless, engaging digital journeys.

As a designer, I strive to create experiences you won't forget—ones that feel intuitive and maybe even spark a little joy.

Outside of UX, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors with my camera, tearing up the handball court 🤾‍♂️, jet-setting to new places, and soaking up different cultures and faces. OH! and this is Bleu 🐶
