public notes to self

What better time than now, for the outcasts of sites to emerge from the seas of empty ui’s.

Maybe designing digital technologies with friction in mind is not so bad after all.

about

Hi, I’m Gonçalo Gonçalves. I contribute to the world as a graphic and interaction designer.

Besides that, I like interacting with people, climbing rocks and making bread.

These days, I’m learning the power of design to inspire others, and I’m bringing back the love for drawing the world around me.
