Who I am beyond Design

Beyond my life as a designer, my interests shape my ideas and direction

Outside of UX/UI, I’m someone who finds balance and inspiration in the things I love — from staying active to exploring new experiences and enjoying the culture around sports, music, and food. These parts of my life help shape how I see the world and how I approach design.

My inspirations and interests

Sports are a big source of inspiration for me. Training for triathlon, running, and strength work help clear my mind and spark new ideas. I’m also a dedicated Náutico supporter and enjoy collecting meaningful items like vinyl records, match tickets, and cups from my team.

I’m equally inspired by the world around me — from discovering new restaurants and exploring different gastronomic styles to observing architecture and urban forms. These structures, lines, and patterns often influence how I approach visual desig.

Looking ahead

As I continue evolving as a designer, I draw heavily on these influences — the discipline and clarity from sports, the emotional depth of football, the curiosity from collecting, and the appreciation for crafted experiences found in gastronomy.

I’m motivated to contribute to products that feel thoughtful and human, and I’m always looking for ways to design with intention, clarity, and a sense of personal connection.
