About
I’m a Product Designer and UX engineer working on shaping a smarter, more intuitive job-search and professional identity experience in the AI era. With almost a decade of professional experience in tech and design, I’ve held leadership roles such as VP of Product Operations at .CV Domains and Design & Innovation Manager at Cabo Verde Digital, where I designed government digital entrepreneurship programs. Alongside these roles, I’ve led and delivered design projects across web, mobile, and platform ecosystems, always grounded in usability and business impact. I also contribute as the Senior Product Designer at Kriolish, a startup where we are working on an infrastructure that promotes and supports the growth of Cabo Verdean Creole. This work reflects my belief that design can preserve culture while creating modern, inclusive user experiences.
