ABOUT ME

Bernardo Pereira de Souza
Senior UX/UI Designer | Product Designer
Personal History
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I’ve always been passionate about creativity and innovation. After starting my career as a graphic designer, working on freelance projects and marketing campaigns, I transitioned into UX/UI design. This shift allowed me to dive deeper into problem-solving and user-centered design, initially serving my graphic design clients before embarking on a journey to explore greater opportunities abroad.
For the past two years, I’ve been living in Portugal, where I’ve had the privilege to work with global companies like Carlsberg. My career has taken me across diverse markets in Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, exposing me to a rich tapestry of cultural perspectives and design challenges.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me indulging in my other passions. I’m a musician and songwriter, blending creativity into melodies. I also have a deep fascination with aviation and even completed the theoretical course for a private pilot license. Above all, I’m a proud father, balancing my professional ambitions with the joy of family life.
