The person & the practice

Still a designer.
Even when leading.

Since2002Print Digital What’s next

Porto, Portugal.
Father of two. Lifelong geek.
Always something to learn.

I started in print, found my way into digital products, and grew into leading the people who make them. The medium keeps changing. My care for the work hasn’t.

Today I lead product design at Betano. Alongside that, I’m exploring how AI can change both the things we design and the way we make them. More possibilities means more need for a clear point of view.

Stay close to the craft.

Leadership and making belong together. The details are where a direction becomes something people can actually use.

Give people a direction. And space.

Build shared understanding, make the difficult calls, and create room for the team to do work they’re proud of.

Keep human judgment in the loop.

Be curious about what AI makes possible. Be deliberate about what’s useful, what’s understandable, and what should stay in people’s hands.
