Findster.
One year before designing Findster I met Virgilio Bento after his TedTalk at Aveiro, I presented myself and let him know if one day he needed my expertise as a product designer, i would be pleased to work with him and his team.
"Findster became one of the most successful crowdfunding campaigns in Portugal. I accepted the challenge, and here I can show some images of this collaboration. The product is now in use in more than 80 countries worldwide, which is a fantastic achievement!"
“Rogério’s creative mind and experience played an integral part in turning Findster from an interesting concept into a reality.

I went form sketch to prototype before the crowdfunding went online, it was a blast to be part of a small team but so productive in each meating. After the success of the crowdfunding I keep on going with the development of the concept and refined the product to the next step, mass production! Thanks to Findster team for the support and confidence.
