YOURSELF?

I’m Joe and I’m a bearded Portuguese UX Designer based in London.

I studied visual communications in Lisbon where I’m originally from, moved to London in 2009 to work in film, but ended up deciding to enroll in a graphic design course.

Learned the skills of a product designer when working at Luckies where I worked on cool projects like the Scratch Maps and Smartphone projector.

Now I’m focusing on designing for the user and creating intuitive experiences.

I’m also a Star Wars fan.

PRACTICE?

I have recently worked with two other UX Designers to improve a FinTech platform.

It turned out to be one of the most interesting projects I’ve been involved with. We discovered that users were having trust issues when signing up, so the challenge was to solve that trough design and carefully written copy.

You can read the case study on Medium.

DREAM COLLABORATION?

I’d love to work with anyone that wants to improve or start a platform or business using interesting new technologies to make life better.

LONDON?

London is a mecca for design and creativity.

This multicultural city is home to some of the best creative studios in the world. It’s an exiting labyrinth of inspiration and opportunities.

SSSHAKE?

To find and connect, with creatives from all the different fields.

To hire, get hired or partner up in exciting projects and share work experiences. A place to find ideas and inspiration from people with all sorts of backgrounds.
