Hi! I’m Madalena, a 27 year old UX/UI Designer based in Coimbra with a passion for creating intuitive, visually compelling digital experiences. My work blends usability and aesthetics, transforming complex ideas into simple, engaging interfaces. With a strong foundation in interaction design and user research, I specialize in crafting clear visual hierarchies, consistent design systems, and seamless user flows.

I thrive at the intersection of design and development, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver scalable UI solutions across platforms. I enjoy bringing a touch of illustration and creative detail to my interfaces, adding character and emotion to every product. My goal is to design experiences that not only function beautifully but also resonate with users through clarity, creativity, and purpose.
