Web3 Enthusiast

Hey there, I'm Nick! How's it going?​

In 2023, I left two startups where I poured my heart and soul into my work, to kick off a new adventure: living life as a digital nomad, balancing work with the freedom to explore the world! With a strong background in design and a recent dive into web3, I'm now open to freelancing and async job opportunities.

About me

Design has always been at the forefront of my journey, shaped by my experiences in startups, corporate settings, and life itself. It's more than just a job title to me; it is a lens through which I approach the world.

 

Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, I always paid attention to the details in architecture and propaganda, perceiving its changes across different neighborhoods. Naturally, I soon felt a drive to explore beyond the city's borders. Portugal became my destination, where I co-founded two successful startups that secured angel investment during my stay.

 

In 2023, driven by the same impulse to immerse myself in new cultures and gain fresh perspectives on design and life, I made the decision to leave both startups. Embracing remote and asynchronous work, I eagerly began a new chapter as a Digital Nomad, actively engaging in freelance projects and remaining open to exciting new ventures.
