Hi! I’m Inês Sofia Reis, a Product Designer with experience in UX/UI, product strategy, and design for education, media and emerging technologies. I create digital experiences that are intuitive, purposeful, and grounded in research.
My background spans award-winning educational resources, EU-funded media innovation, and university-level teaching, where I blend creativity with strategic thinking to deliver meaningful products.
Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
