Hi, I'm Paulo Silva, the creative mind and hands-on builder behind Wertical. I work as a UX/UI designer, graphic designer, and programmer. I can build things both manually and by leveraging AI tools to find the best solution for every project. I care deeply about how things look, how they feel, and how they work for real people.
I hold a Graphic Design certification from UCD Academy (University College Dublin) and a Google UX Design certification, both of which shaped how I think about digital experiences: always with clarity, purpose, and a strong visual identity at the core.
Born in Portugal and living as an immigrant for years, I've worn many hats along the way: customer support, customer relations, social media specialist, fraud analyst. But design and people have always been the constant thread. Everything I do comes back to making things work beautifully for the humans using them.
When I'm not designing, I'm chasing music, travelling the world, or finding beauty in the details of everyday life.
