Who am I?
I'm a father of 3 kids, so now you know who I work for! Design is my passion and I started early to learn about it. Before university, I was discovering the magic behind design at the age of 16.
At university, I studied ceramic design at ESAD Caldas da Rainha and worked for two years in the ceramic industry. After this experience, I went to the University of Aveiro to study Design. This gave me a universal view and strategic design thinking to be able to develop several projects.
I worked for about 6 years at the industry Design with my professor and design leader at the eD design office. It was great times working with a national and international award-winning studio.
Before the pandemic, I was co-founding RO·SE design studio managing several design projects, from brand to product design and exhibition stands, signing them as RO·SE.
I currently lead ro____design partner as an independent designer and lecture at the University of Aveiro (10 years) and at a private design school, the Lisbon School of Design (7 years).
Partnering for positive change is my mantra!
