My name is up there ↑. You might also call me Zé.

I’m a creative developer and designer, working in the intersection of design, code, and long-term thinking. I work full-time at the award-driven studio Bürocratik, while running an independent practice focused on bespoke digital experiences and experimental tools.

My background is in fine arts and design, with hands-on experience across branding, web development, motion, and content architecture. Moving comfortably between creative code, websites, and brand identities, and the quieter work of structure and restraint.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me taking care of bonsais, hanging out with my cats, or picking up whatever small hobby helps slow things down for a while.
