Profile: https://flows.cv/anademagalhes

Product Designer with a background in Psychology and Clinical Counseling. I like to approach situations from a person-centered perspective, and enjoy designing products that honor the complexities of people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to not only solve potential problems, but to prevent them altogether.

I believe designs should be made ethically, humbly, and continuously.
