About IxDA

IxDA was incorporated in 2005 to address the needs of the then-emergent field of interaction design. In the intervening years, interaction design has grown as a industry and an area of study, at the same time the recognition of its value in the creation of great products has grown.

We were the first community for those interested in the practice of interaction design, and now we are the largest, with over 200 local groups and more than 100,000 individuals globally. We are driven by a passion for design, and a belief that our practice of interaction design can make the world a better place.

He loves to work in highly specialised environments with like minded folk - data scientists, engineers, product development teams and obviously other designers - people who also love crazy tech, experimentation and, hopefully, contributing to a better future.
Working at McLaren, and with other companies in the past like Visa Europe, UK Post Office, SAP, Hudl, OutSystems and Uniplaces, projects have taken him from Portugal to London and USA - always without losing a single bit of his unfettered love for Portuguese food.
