I collect things. Not in a cute, minimalist way… more like tabs, half-built ideas, research threads, and gadgets I was absolutely sure would change my life.

I used to have time to organise them. Now I have a baby.

These days, my schedule is a negotiation between naps, deadlines, and the very ambitious idea that I might sleep eight hours again one day. I do most of my thinking at midnight… which is also when I make questionable decisions like “just one more tweak” that turns into a full redesign.

I practice Pilates (when I remember I own a machine), try to drink more water (ongoing research project), and live in that strange space between discipline and complete cognitive chaos. ADHD means I can design a full system in one sitting… and then lose my coffee mug or phone three times in ten minutes.

Motherhood didn’t slow me down. It just changed the interface. Everything is more fragmented, more interrupted… but also sharper. I notice patterns faster now. Systems failures are louder. There’s no such thing as a neutral design when you’re holding a child who depends on everything working.

I’m Brazilian, living in Ireland, thinking in at least two languages at any given time… which probably explains why my ideas arrive slightly out of order.

Most days, I’m building, observing, questioning. Some days, I’m just trying to remember where I left my phone.
