I majored in Psychology and have worked with graphic design and DP since the 1980s. I’ve done editing, translation, proofreading, design, and websites with WordPress. In 2005 I created my own press, called ovni, dedicated to microfiction. Currently I work with Empower (https://empower-up.pt). Passionate about the flexibility and simplicity of processes when using WordPress, I give special attention to media usability, digital or analog. I’m a part of the Portuguese WordPress Community (https://wp-portugal.com), translating and managing the Portuguese WordPress version and organizing WordCamps.
