I'm Diogo, a designer from Portugal. 14 years doing branding, UI, illustration, and whatever falls between them. Figma and Adobe Suite are my daily tools, but I care more about the thinking than the software.

I took a pause to welcome twin daughters. Now I'm back, working fully remote. It's more productive for me and for the people I work with. No office overhead, fewer distractions, and I get to be around for my kids. That trade-off was easy.

Most of my experience comes from international teams, turning messy briefs into designs that actually help users do what they came to do. I used to do that in-house. Now I do it from home.

I listen more than I talk. I'd rather get something right than make it look clever.

If you're working on something and need a designer, I'd like to hear about it.
