I'm Gustavo (aka Bife) Soares, Brazilian & Portuguese citizen, currently based in Amsterdam, looking for what's next.
1. Love cooking, and I design like I cook ⁂ Experimenting often, tasting constantly, messing up, adjusting intentionally, and knowing when to add heat.
2. Craft in every pixel and every decision ✹ Caring about the details from strategy debates to Figma frames, that’s where the magic and the hard questions live.
3. Flexing systems ⁂ Thinking endlessly in systems. Scale, adaptation, surviving chaos.
4. Clarity over cleverness ✺ If it makes people pause, we're probably the ones who need to think twice.
5. Sketches are promises, the Build is the truth ❉ Real life has latency, legacy code, legal. Ideas are pretty in the abstract, but design earns its keep when things get messy.
6. Good vibes make good work ✺ Design happens between people. Building trust, staying kind, keeping it real… the rest follows.
7. And of course, real people real needs ✴ If you're listening closely, your users will write your roadmap for you. and spoiler: it's often your big business unlock.
