LisboaUX #4: DESIGN POWER with Hatch Conference & TheStarter:
Think of our fourth event as a love letter to you and the Lisboa Design Community.

Join our community on Slack so you can get to know other designers, events and job opportunities.

DEBUT TALK: Andreea (aarchi)
Sometimes it can be scary to start your own journey. Following our initiative to give an opportunity to people that are in different stages of their careers, providing mentorship and coaching from more seasoned speakers, we were able to bring you our third and last one — Andreea Resmeritoaia!
Andreea, also known as aarcii, is a graphic designer with a background in fashion design and painting. She is currently developing a personal project and movement dedicated to sharing the knowledge and experiences of designers, for young designers.
