Startups Coimbra — building the founder community Coimbra was missing
Coimbra has the talent (university, IPN, dev/design scene) but founders here have always had to look to Lisboa or Porto to find their people.
Startups Coimbra is fixing that — a practical, no-BS community for founders and builders who want to go from idea → MVP → validation → first customers, without the usual accelerator theatre.
RECOMMENDED
“Pedro is a fantastic solo architect. He understands both the high-level business strategy and the actual code required to execute it. He is a reliable, fast, and highly technical partner for any digital business.”

Startups Coimbra
Love this initiative. Strong startup ecosystems are built through consistent communities where founders can share knowledge, validate ideas, and help each other move from MVP to real customers.
Thanks Pedro 😉

This looks almost like topographic contour lines warping around a center point, really hypnotic. Is this heading toward a pattern system for packaging or more of a digital brand asset?

Building a Minimal Fashion E-commerce Landing Page
Every great website starts with solving a problem, not just making something look beautiful.
The Challenge:
The goal was to create a fashion landing page that felt modern, premium, and distraction-free while keeping the shopping experience intuitive.
Some of the key challenges included:
Creating a clean luxury aesthetic without making the page feel empty.
Organizing product information so visitors can scan products quickly.
Maintaining strong visual hierarchy across the hero section and product listings.
Designing a layout that works seamlessly across different screen sizes.
My Approach
I focused on simplicity backed by thoughtful design decisions.
Here's how I tackled it:
✔ Designed a spacious layout with generous white space to create a premium shopping experience.
✔ Used a neutral color palette that allows the products to become the visual focus.
✔ Built a clear typography hierarchy to guide users naturally from the headline to the call-to-action.
✔ Structured the product grid for easy browsing with consistent spacing, pricing, and descriptions.
✔ Kept the navigation minimal to reduce friction and help users reach products faster.
The Outcome
The final result is a modern e-commerce experience that is:
• Clean and premium
• Easy to navigate
• Product-focused
• Mobile-friendly
• Designed to improve user engagement and shopping confidence
Good design isn't about adding more, it's about removing everything that gets in the customer's way.
