ABOUT

I'm José, a 21-year-old web designer and front-end developer based in Lisbon, Portugal.

I combine my background in Marketing and Web Design to create clean, responsive and conversion‑oriented interfaces, with a special focus on landing pages and small business websites. My goal is to design experiences that clearly communicate your offer, guide visitors through the page and help turn more of them into leads and contact requests.

Front-End Dev

MARKETING

// a tool, not a shortcut for thinking

$ generate 4 hero layout variations

$ research competitors before a pitch

I use AI as help, never as a dependency. It speeds up the parts that don't need my full attention — it never makes the final decision.

~/ai-toolkit

design.md

tools — Figma AI, AI image generators

use — fast mockup exploration and custom imagery for hero sections

help, not dependency — it gets me past the blank canvas faster. The layout, hierarchy and final details are always mine to decide.

code.md

tools — GitHub Copilot

use — autocompleting repetitive code, speeding up HTML/CSS/JS

help, not dependency — I read and understand every suggestion before accepting it. If I can't explain a line, it doesn't go in.

research.md

tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity

use — market and competitor research, structuring proposals, copy drafts

help, not dependency — it gives me a faster starting point, never the final answer. Everything is checked and rewritten in my own words before it reaches a client.

AI can produce the first version of almost anything. It can't decide what's good. That part stays mine.
