I work with early-stage startups and product teams to turn rough ideas into usable, lovable interfaces. Whether you're building your MVP or redesigning your onboarding — I help make it simple, beautiful, and intuitive. 🧑‍🎨 Design isn’t just what it looks like. It’s how it works — and how it feels.

You’re not hiring a vendor. You’re bringing on someone who’s built real products and knows how to think like your users. 🧠 I blend product sense with clean design and fast execution. No agency layers, no long timelines. Just work that moves the needle.

Hey, I’m Leo. I’ve freelanced full-time for 6 years and worked with over 80 startups. 🧑‍💻 Before that, I led design at a YC-backed company. I’m curious, collaborative, and constantly sketching ideas in my notebook. I live in Lisbon, but my Zoom hours are flexible.

Leo is that rare mix of fast, thoughtful, and wildly talented. 🚀 He helped us design our v1 app in record time — and users loved it from day one.

Working with Leo felt like working with an in-house product lead. 🛠️ His designs made dev handoff smooth, and his thinking saved us weeks of guesswork.
