2018–2023
I turn ideas into digital products that feel clear, useful & alive.
I’m Antonio Bortone, an Italian UX/UI designer based in Portugal, combining product thinking, visual systems, and a technical foundation.
My background
I started in Italy, studying programming and technology. That gave me the technical foundation to understand how digital products work, not just how they look.
First experiments
At 17, I started a small marketing project with a friend. We offered design and marketing services to local businesses. It lasted only a few months because of exams and other commitments, but it was my first real step into the creative world.
A new chapter in Portugal
After finishing school, I chose to begin a new chapter in Portugal. Moving there at 19 taught me to adapt quickly, become more independent, and build a life beyond what was familiar.
Discovering UX/UI
My interest in UX/UI began after I watched a video. Something clicked. I started learning through courses, tutorials, and constant practice, exploring how to connect design, usability, and product thinking.
From there, I began creating more: interfaces, product ideas, visual systems, and digital experiences. Every project became a way to refine my taste, improve my process, and deepen my understanding of people.
In my spare time
Most of the time, you’ll find me at the gym, reading, drawing, taking photos, or travelling.
