It's great to see you here!

My name is Mateus, but you can call me Ramgund (pronounced Rangoon, like the city in Myanmar). On this page, you can learn a little more about me.

Born and raised in Recife, I have always been passionate about visual communication. From an early age, I expressed myself through aesthetics, music, and art. That curiosity led me to explore different sides of myself as a designer, musician, and even a tattoo artist. And, of course, I am also a devoted dad to two cats.

PROFESSIONAL

My Journey in Design

I began at 16, creating prints for local stores, and I have never stopped. Since then, I have worked in print shops, agencies, architecture firms, and even museum projects. These experiences have given me a broad perspective and helped me develop skills across different areas of design.

Over time, I became increasingly interested in technology and its potential to transform user experiences. Today, I focus on UX/UI Design, creating digital solutions with usability, clarity, and purpose.
