Since 2022Pedro CerqueiraAssociate Communication Designer

How did you get into design?

I’ve always loved being creative, communicative and working with tech. But let’s just say I didn’t want to code as a full time job, even though I’m pretty good at it!

Why are you at Liferay?

To keep being nerdy.

Favorite tool?

WD-40 lubricant. Or a camera. And maybe figma.

Best lifehack?

WD-40 solves any problem.

Where do you find #inspiration?

Usually in my past life experiences (Who Wants to be a Millionaire style).

One thing you are getting better at?

Productively procrastinating.

If you weren't designing, what would you be doing?

Probably doing med school or something that tries to understand the depths of the human brain. Or more likely selling my art on the beach.

What does your desktop/home screen look like?

Like a mess.

Favorite place to visit?

Peru (the country).

Favorite hotkey?

Windows key + Shift + Arrow key

Advice for ambitious designers?

Keep yourself busy and try not to compare yourself too hard on other people’s work, instead try to improve what you’ve done before.

Last book you read?

Homo Deus - Yuval Noah Harari

Most effective productivity booster?

Next-day deadlines.

What keeps you up at night?

Usually the amount of caffeine I take in a day. Or sometimes existential questions.
