Hello. I'm Rute Cotrim, a  T-Shaped  UX Designer  (focused on the Product Design & UX/UI path but happy to help on Front-end if needed) based in Lisboa - Portugal.
 

I am a  T-Shaped UX Designer  (that is happy to help on Front-end if needed) based in Lisboa - Portugal. I joined the IT area in 2016 - working as a UX/UI Designer and Front-end developer, but started working only as a Designer/Web Designer back in 2013.

My education is diverse:  I have two bachelor degrees , one in Journalism and the other one in Audiovisual in Multimedia (Higher School of Communication and Media Studies , Lisbon, Portugal), both completed between 2010-2015. Between 2018-2019, I took an after-work Front-end specialization with a UX module, at FLAG (in Lisbon, Portugal). More recently, I have been trying to get the most out of the opportunity of learning at my own pace, with the “Google UX path” and the “AI for Designers” course, by IxDF (Interaction Design Foundation).

My focus nowadays is  usability ,  acessibility  and  scalability  - I want to craft beautiful user-centered interfaces for mobile and desktop, help you with the implementation and elevate the digital experience. I go from the research phases, through ideation, definition and prototyping, to the implementation support (I am a big CSS and BEM Methodology fan, based on Atomic Design). I am into learning more and more every day about Design Systems and Product Design, but also focus on improving the relationship and collaboration between designers, developers and product, so we all have the same language.
