Hello, I'm Gonçalo 👋

I’m a Lisbon-based Junior UX designer with a solid background in programming, mostly Frontend Development. While I was learning how to be a programmer, I realized that I wasn't taking full advantage of my creativity. So after I finished my IT graduation, I decided to take a break and study a few alternatives in that technology world. That's when I found UX Design and saw an oportunity to ally my scientific thinking and problem solving skills with my creativity and design knowledge.
