Bumble – New Onboarding Experience
UX & UI
For this project, I redesigned Bumble’s onboarding flow to make it shorter, more engaging, and visually refreshing. The work included:
Illustrations: A new set of playful, character-driven illustrations to reinforce Bumble’s friendly and inclusive tone.
Microcopy: Clear, approachable, and concise copywriting to guide users seamlessly through the sign-up process.
Design System: A refreshed design system with updated components, iconography, and color tokens for consistency and scalability.
User Experience: A restructured onboarding journey that reduces friction, creates delight, and encourages users to complete their profiles.
The result is a welcoming and efficient onboarding experience that stays true to Bumble’s identity while improving usability and user satisfaction.
Caixa Angola
I developed this campaign for Caixa Angola, focusing on their Business Insurance product. The objective was to communicate security and trust, showing that any type of business, no matter the size or sector, can be protected with Caixa Angola’s insurance solutions.
The concept highlights entrepreneurs from different industries—corporate, hospitality, and services—safeguarded inside a symbolic protective shape, representing the bank’s role in ensuring business continuity and growth.
Through a clean and modern visual approach, the campaign reinforces the message:
“Secure Businesses with Caixa Angola – because a safe company goes further.”
Canil Brewery – Mobile App Design UX & UI
I designed a mobile application for Canil Brewery that simplifies the ordering and payment experience. Through the app, customers can place their orders directly, manage their tab, and pay seamlessly.
A key feature of the design is the flexibility in payment options:
Pay only for your own orders
Pay the full bill
Split the total equally with friends
Or customize how the bill is divided
The visual identity and design system were inspired by comic-style illustrations created by me, giving the app a unique and playful personality that reflects the brand’s spirit.
The result is a user-friendly, engaging, and visually distinctive experience that enhances the brewery’s service while giving customers complete control over how they order and pay.
Adidas Portugal – Custom Football Boots Campaign
This campaign invited customers to design their own football boots, embracing creativity and personal expression. Since everything was fully customized, I chose to develop all the visual elements and lettering by hand, without using typography, to reflect the unique and personal spirit of the project.
The result was a bold and authentic visual identity that celebrated individuality, aligning perfectly with Adidas Portugal’s vision of empowering athletes to express themselves on and off the pitch.
Wize Portugal – Website & Illustration Design
I designed the website for Wize Portugal, a specialist consultancy offering tailor-made route-to-market solutions focused on improving brand performance at the point of sale. Their promise is clear: delivering complete sell-in and sell-out strategies that bring clients’ brands into the hands and hearts of consumers.wize.pt
My role encompassed:
Full visual direction—from the overall layout and UI to every detail in the custom illustrations, ensuring the visuals align with Wize’s brand of clarity, professionalism, and strategic insight.
Hand-crafted illustrations—designed in a style that is both approachable and sophisticated, adding a human touch to the site while positioning Wize as a trusted partner in brand execution.
Coherent design system—a thoughtful combination of typography, color, iconography, and layout that supports scalability and keeps the user interface both intuitive and visually engaging.
The end product is a clean, modern, and professional website that effectively communicates Wize Portugal’s mission and services, while reinforcing their identity through custom visuals and coherent design.
Angola Millennium Credit Cards
The theme for this card was modern simplicity. Triangles, known for their dynamic and versatile nature, were chosen as the primary design element. The goal was to use these shapes to create a pattern that is both eye-catching and sophisticated.

vayamont artwork
For this project, I designed the cover artwork for "Whispers in the Abyss," an ambient dark music album. The artwork aims to visually encapsulate the haunting, immersive experience of the music. Utilizing a monochromatic palette and abstract forms, the design reflects the eerie, shadowy soundscapes. Subtle textures and enigmatic imagery draw the viewer into a world of depth and mystery, complementing the ethereal and dark tones of the album.
