About Diogo
I’m a Design Lead with 20+ years of experience helping companies build, evolve and scale digital products with purpose.
I work at the intersection of product strategy, UX and team leadership, often in distributed and multicultural teams across Europe and Asia. I’m especially effective in moments of transition - when products or teams need clarity, alignment and sustainable direction rather than speed alone.
Today, I’m focused on meaningful work, healthy team dynamics and products that have a real impact on people’s lives, ideally in remote or global-first environments.
