About
Hello
Design that solves business problems
I'm Torcato: a designer, front-end developer and photographer. I started out designing and ended up learning to build, because I wanted to own the result end to end — not hand over a file and hope for the best.
I work mostly with small and mid-sized companies in Portugal: businesses that are good at what they do, but whose online presence doesn't show it. That's where I come in.

How I think
Four principles
- 01
Clarity before style
If the message doesn't land in three seconds, no animation will save it.
- 02
Plain language
No jargon, no forty-page reports. You tell me what you need and I tell you what it takes.
- 03
Real deadlines
I'd rather give you a date I'll meet than a date you'll like.
- 04
Independence at the end
The site is yours. You'll leave knowing how to run it without needing me to change a paragraph.

When I'm not working, I'm travelling
