Hi, I am Inês.
Recovering accountant. Full-time enemy of boring websites.
For ten years I made other people's numbers behave. Now I build websites, stores and apps for small businesses, and I take it personally if they are dull. I work from Lisbon, around two small girls who keep me grounded and occasionally exhausted. I speak English and Portuguese, and I understand Spanish, so you can write to me in whichever feels most natural.
How an accountant ended up here.
Naturally, I will tell you in the only format I trust: a ledger. The short version is that I started building one website to see if I could, and then I could not stop.

An accountant's eye turns out to be useful here. I care about the things that make a business run: a deposit that arrives on time, an enquiry that never gets lost, a dashboard that tells you the truth. The design is the part people see. The rest is what lets you sleep.
Things I will never do to you.

Beatriz and Francisca.
Bea and Kika are my two daughters, and the reason I care about work that gives me freedom as well as an income. Bea has already announced she wants to be a tourist when she grows up, and I respect the vision. We share a dream of a month in Asia, the three of us. Maybe two months, maybe three, we are still negotiating.
Every pivot and every late night of learning had one aim: to be there for them, and to show them that work you love and a life that fits you can go together.
Two truths and a lie.
One of these about me is not true. Which one?
Tap a card to turn it over.
Custom websites, online stores and apps for small businesses and entrepreneurs who want something that fits the way they work, rather than a template that fits everyone. On the side I design seamless surface patterns and Canva templates for creatives, which began as a hobby and now sometimes pays for itself.
Tell me what you are building.
A website, a store or an app, I would love to hear about it. Write to me and I will reply myself, usually before the oat milk goes cold.
