I design user-centred digital products and brand systems for healthcare and international clients.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently delivering graphic and digital design for pharma and healthcare clients at Phormula Group, leading UI/UX work across web and app products.
I conduct user research, build personas, facilitate user testing, and take products from wireframes and prototypes through to high-fidelity designs. I also manage multiple client accounts and projects.
Previously, I led design output and coordinated marketing activity for Field Day Festival and Eat Your Own Ears in London. My work covered websites, digital and print campaigns, social assets, event artwork, media partnerships, and budgets.
Across 16+ years in agencies and studios in Portugal, Spain, and the UK, I've created brand identities, packaging, editorial, web layouts, and campaigns for European and global clients including McDonald's, Hyundai, and Jaguar. After completing a Digital Product Design specialisation in 2025, I'm actively transitioning into a full product design role.
