One mind. Many disciplines.
In the lineage of the whole - the ones who refused a single lane. Art, science, craft, the body. I connect what others keep apart.
Ongoing academic research.
● In progress · 2025An atlas of Portugal's analog interfaces, 1870-1975. Signs, maps, tickets and symbols that guided flows and reduced error long before the screen - the city read as an interface that anticipates today's UX and accessibility.
● In progress · 2025How do designers judge the transposition of usability and accessibility from historic Portuguese analog interfaces to digital? A structured survey and interviews across six case studies, 1870-1975 - from Lisbon's metro map to temporary roadwork signage.
● In progress · 2026The birth of typography as a visual force. How type evolved from legibility for continuous reading into letters built for instant impact - from industrial wood type to David Carson: don't confuse legibility with communication.
A method experiment for a contemporary art festival identity: the visual result appeared before the concept. The image preceded the theory - and the process itself became the concept.

This is the knowledge I'm generating.
Visual design degree, a multimedia background sharpened into a Swiss army knife: ICT, a postgrad in AI, UXPM level 3 and Google UX Design certifications, digital accessibility auditing, and large-scale data-centric projects. All pointed at one thing - future-centered innovation.
