My name is João Rocha and I´ve been working as a visual designer and illustrator since 2018, which helped me getting into web developement in 2022, when I got into my MFA in New Media Design at ULisboa.

In all these years I learned to perfect some skills, like dissecting complex briefings, being a facilitator between my team and the clients, optimizing UX research frameworks and be adaptable to new challenges and tools, whether they´re visual-based or code-based!

Right now I´m writing my thesis about multi-modal interfaces for e-IDs, feel free to contact me about it as well!
