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

GG —Design & Illustration
Hi, my name is Gonçalo Gonçalves. You should wander around. Design and Illustration mostly. Painting maybe. Get in touch.
Besides that, I like interacting with people, climbing rocks and making bread.
You can also buy me a print 🙂
