Designed and built Startups Coimbra, the website and community platform for an open startup community in Coimbra, Portugal — a React + TanStack Start SSR app with a custom dark, technical design system.
It includes a server-side waitlist that feeds signups straight into Attio CRM with Startup/Mentor segmentation, plus full Portuguese content and technical SEO (per-route metadata, canonicals, OG cards, sitemap).

Thank you Pedro! 😄

The VECTIS site on Lovable doesn't play a story. It runs one.
Every statue holds at half-resolved, permanently — noise you can live with. Move your cursor and it sharpens exactly where you're looking, then settles back the second you leave.
A live proof ticker keeps scrolling underneath it the whole time. Nothing waits for you to scroll to feel alive.

Meriot Netherlands-based product designer portfolio
I explored a portfolio website for Meriot, a product designer based in the Netherlands who wanted a digital presence that felt more personal, editorial, and design-focused.
The challenge was to avoid the typical portfolio formula and create something that communicates personality within the first few seconds.
The direction
→ Bold editorial typography
→ Strong personal photography
→ Minimal black-and-white foundation
→ Warm orange accent for CTAs
→ Simple, structured navigation
→ Clear positioning as a product designer
→ A portfolio experience that feels like a personal brand
The idea was to make the website feel confident without being complicated.
Rather than leading with a long introduction, the hero immediately communicates who Meriot is, what he does, and where the visitor should go next.
Nice design broooo
