André Ascensão is a Design Engineer.

Making beautiful websites come to life, having fun and genuinely giving a sh*t about the outcome is what transforms projects into a passion rather than a task.

I work at the exciting intersection of design and engineering, making sure there's a smooth transition from design to implementation, without letting details get lost in translation.

Crafting polished interfaces with a deep passion for creative branding, specializing in acessible interaction design imbuing motion and meticulous attention to the finer details.
Moving quickly, without compromising on exceptional quality.
Exploring alone, shipping with a team.
