hi there! i’m patrícia custódio.
Designer, traveller, bookworm
and arts lover, always learning something new.
My ultimate goal is to use design to solve real problems to positively impact people's lives.
I’m currently working at Volkswagen Group,
in sunny Lisbon.
my approach
I specialize in designing products that seamlessly integrate user needs with business objectives. I believe that conducting user-centric research to get a deep understanding of users and aligning the insights with business strategies is key to create successful products.
I prioritize collaboration with cross-functional teams and stakeholders by facilitating workshops, design reviews, and foster open communication to create an environment where everyone is heard and we can create the best results together.
Great results can only happen when everyone works together: Users, Product team and Stakeholders.
