What clients say
Sample testimonials — Noa Varela is a fictional freelancer. Replace these in lib/services.ts.
“Noa turned a messy brief into a product our users actually understand. Calm, fast, and allergic to unnecessary features.
“The best handover we've ever had: tidy files, a video walkthrough and zero back-and-forth with our developers.
“We launched two weeks early. Our new site brings in more enquiries than the old one did in a month.
05About
Hi, I'm Noa.
Lisbon, PortugalNVProduct designer & developer
I've spent eight years designing and building digital products — first inside agencies and startups, now independently from Lisbon.
I like small teams, clear problems and work that ships. I design in the browser as much as in Figma, so what you approve is what actually gets built.
