About
I'm Teresa, a Web Designer from sunny Lisbon, Portugal.
My Design journey started in the mid 90's - a decade where everything was going digital -, after what new opportunities took me abroad (Limerick, Ireland and Birmingham, UK) to work in Signage Design. Here I've started focusing on Wayfinding - The study and enhance of people's understanding and experience of the physical space. Wayfinding is for Signage what User Experience is for User Interfaces.
Since 2008 I'm focused exclusively on Web Design (UX/UI Design and Development) and ever since I gained an extensive understanding of the whole project life-cycle, being able to provide efficient solutions all the way, from research to prototype and code HTML/CSS.
This know-how allows me to focus wherever the project needs me the most, including being the bridge between Design, Business, Brand and Engineering teams, to enable a better problem solving from planning to code, in both Waterfall and Agile environments.
As looking away from the screen from time to time is good for your eyes, I love gardening, in the balcony and indoors, where I keep too many plants while humans can still move around. Caring for plants gives me super-powers. I also enjoy pocket photography and exploration and puzzle video games.
