About me

IMG_20210911_170316-01

Hello there! I am Rafa, a business-oriented product designer focused on UX design.

Ever since I was a kid, I became fascinated with technology which motivated me to study computer science. However, as I learned more about it, I discovered that what people can do with technology interested me more than how technology worked. That made me fall in love with design and pursue that career change as soon as I finished my bachelor’s degree.

I think designers have a big responsibility for the products and services they create since they affect people and the societies they live in. A good designer does not only devise successful products but also products that are good for their users.

When I'm not designing or conceptualizing new products, I'm reading fantasy novels, listening to music or podcasts, playing Magic the Gathering and other board games, exercising, or hanging out with my friends or my partner in Salamanca or Oporto.
