I'm Portuguese product designer living in Geneva. Being Portuguese means I carry a certain stubbornness, a love of good food, and an irrational emotional attachment to football that goes well beyond the games I actually play. I've been living in Geneva for a while now.

On the home front, life has gotten beautifully chaotic. I recently became a father — a baby boy who has single-handedly restructured my entire relationship with sleep and priorities, in the best possible way.

Keeping me company through all of it are Manto and Zoe, two dogs who were here before the baby and have not entirely forgiven me for the change in power dynamics.
