01 · The person
People first.
Every project starts with the humans on the other side of the screen. I listen, sketch, test, and only then reach for pixels.

02 · The craft
Code that sparkles.
I build what I design. Product UX, interfaces, motion and front-end code live in one head, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
03 · The reach
Beyond the screen.
Apps, websites, installations and the odd headset. If people can touch it, I want it to feel considered and a bit delightful.
Look closer ↗Good work makes sense. Great work makes a feeling.
Equal parts intent, instinct & a little surprise.
From the first sketch to the smallest hover state. I design it, I build it, and I tune it until it feels right.

02 / The person behind it
An artist's eye.
An engineer's hands.
A restless curiosity.
I'm Talia, a design technologist in Austin by way of Lisbon. I spent my early years painting murals and my twenties shipping software, and I never picked a side.
Now I partner with founders and small teams to design and build products that are clear on day one and still a pleasure on day one hundred.

Before we start
Good questions.
Still curious? Send a note and I'll reply within two working days.
Do you design and build, or just design?+
Both. Most projects run from first sketch to live product with me, and I'm happy to pair with your developers if you have a team already.
What kind of clients do you work with?+
Early-stage founders, studios that need an extra pair of hands, and established brands launching something new.
How does a project usually start?+
With a short call, then a one-week discovery sprint where we agree on goals, scope and what success looks like.
How do we stay in touch during the work?+
A shared board, a weekly check-in and short video walkthroughs whenever something new is ready to look at.
Can you help if I'm not sure what I need yet?+
Yes. That's often the most fun part. We'll shape the idea together before anything gets built.
