RMRafael Matos da Silva
Design Systems Architect and Brand Identity Lead @ Freelancer
About
I'm an independent Portuguese designer with 20+ years of experience working with startups and clients worldwide. I specialize in branding, design systems, and UI/UX. Early in my career, I didn't have many mentors, so mentoring is my way of giving back. I enjoy helping designers think through challenges, build confidence, and grow in their own way.
How I can help
I can help you figure out why your portfolio isn't landing interviews, improve your portfolio and case studies, prepare for senior UX interviews (including big tech), switch into product design from another career, go freelance with confidence by pricing your work and finding clients, and grow from senior to staff or leadership. I've hired and interviewed designers myself, so I know what hiring managers look for and how to help you stand out. I also mentor designers on design systems and advanced Figma workflows.
