Teresa C.

I'm a product designer with 7+ years of experience, now working as a freelancer with startups in fintech and SaaS. What makes me different: I don't just design in Figma and hand off to developers. I go from problem to working MVP. I use AI tools like Lovable and Cursor to build functional frontends, which means founders get tested, real products faster, not just static mockups. Recent example: Verdio, a SaaS platform for Portugal's short-term rental market. I did the market research, competitive analysis, UX strategy, UI design, and built the frontend MVP end-to-end. 👉🏻 verdio.lovable.app I run a design studio called Heptagram Digital and work best with early-stage startups (11-50 people) that need a senior product designer embedded in the team, but aren't ready for a full-time hire. Monthly retainers, async, remote from Portugal.
