My
Projects

A designer team of one

As a developer who has been collaborating with Pedro on projects for over two years, I can already anticipate some of the thought processes we share, and he has significantly influenced my perspective on user usability as a developer. He has shown me firsthand what it means to be a top-tier product designer, and now, for better or worse for future product designers on my projects, my expectations are set pretty high after working with someone like him.

As a company owner and manager, I have had the honour of working with Pedro over the last 5 years. What makes him stand out most is his real design passion combined with his remarkable versatility. In a world where many professionals operate within very narrow niches, Pedro has a broad range of knowledge that he brings to the table to solve problems in a multi-disciplinary way. Through his motivation, innovative thinking, and consistent delivery of quality work, he has shown me what true passion for the craft really means.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Pedro on the 2024 visual identity for Festa das Latas. His exceptional design thinking and innovative ideation skills elevated our entire team's creative capabilities to new heights. What truly sets Pedro apart is not just his creative talent, but his remarkably open-minded and collaborative approach. His ability to both contribute bold ideas and thoughtfully build upon others' concepts was instrumental in developing what became the festival's most successful visual identity to date.

I've been working with Pedro for more than three years and the experience of working with him can be summed up in two things: efficient collaboration and constant learning. He always brings new ideas to the table and is willing to go the extra mile to deliver what clients need. His attention to detail and dedication are clearly reflected in his work.

I had the chance to work with Pedro for two years, and during that time, it became evident how his passion, knowledge, commitment, and creativity are reflected in every project he takes on. Working alongside him definitely gave me a fresh perspective on design and its possibilities. His proactivity and focus on solutions make him an indispensable member of any team.
