Where I started
Before this course at MMU, I completed a diploma in Science and Technology at Escola Secundária Infanta Dona Maria and studied UI/UX design.
Product design and UX
For me, physical product design and UX aren’t two separate interests. I want to understand how a product is made and what logic sits behind its form and function, but also how people connect with it.
On one side, I love the technical and engineering side of things and making something real. On the other, I’m drawn to psychology, human behaviour and the decisions people make while using a product. I think what connects these two fields for me is curiosity about the relationship between people and the things we design.
I don’t just want to design how a product looks. I want to know why it should look that way, how it should work, and why someone would enjoy using it.

What I want to learn
I want to learn how a product works end to end: where it can fail, where my strengths are in designing a product from zero to a hundred, and what my weaknesses are.
The hands-on making is the hardest part for me. The design and ideation stage was the most exciting, especially the moment an idea suddenly came to me.
Outside design, I love playing the piano and listening to classical music.
