With more than a decade in the tech industry, it's possible to find my fingerprints in several country-level govtech-projects, for online citizen's services delivery, and public administration digitization. During the last 3 years, I have been playing an active role in the local Startup Innovation Ecosystem development process, leading initiatives and advising the government in activating and make the governance of the local innovation ecosystem for startups, through different projects to create community, create talent, and create a market.

I am a passionate graphic designer who tries to solve real-life problems through empathy and design thinking. I have a broad range of design-based skills like graphic design, user interface design, and front-end development. I started my career as a graphic designer at Uni-CV, after that I became the lead user interface designer at Bonako, designing products such as Muska, MyUnitel, Passafree, RTC mobile, AIS 2018, WHO Afro Innovation Challenge Platform, etc. Currently, I work as an Advisor for Marketing, Brands, and Events at the Ministry of Culture and Creative Industries of the Government of Cabo Verde.

I am passionate about fostering an inspiring culture driven by a people-first mentality, with the ultimate goal of providing a world-class experience and customers. I am dedicated to investing in my growth and that of others, operating with integrity and enjoying the journey!
