Hello, I’m Gui.
aka .GIF 😄
I'm an experienced full spectrum Product Designer with 7 years in the IT industry, including past roles as product manager, digital marketer, while starting professionally as a researcher.
I have international experience and I'm comfortable working in an agile environment at global teams remotely - such as Yonderland, OLX (Naspers) and Buildium (Realpage) - relying on strong communication skills, familiarized to work collaboratively in scrum teams with all kinds of stakeholders.
I’m experienced in internal logistic tools, fintech solutions and proptech, for both mobile and web products.
I’m biased for making sure that there's always solid reasons behind every product and design decision.
Growing up in Porto, both of my parents instilled in me an aptitude for critical thinking and creative problem solving. I also have an insatiable desire to learn new things and an healthy addiction to Reddit (go figure!).
My early coding experience at 12 (launched my 1st website), passion for web design and technology (back in the days of Macromedia Dreamweaver & Flash), together with a MSc in Psychology, allows me to have an holistic approach regarding product discovery.
At the same time, it also allows me to speak comfortably the language of users, product, engineers and stakeholders.
I'm always challenging myself to learn new things, be a pioneer and explore new design opportunities.
