Since I was a little kid, I used to spend entire days {weeks, months} playing with Legos: building all kinds of worlds, stories and characters.


While playing, a single tiny house felt like an entire city; a tiny hero like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders, a giant fort with prisons inside and so on.

This, I feel, was essential to becoming who I am today: a Digital Designer (who dabbles a bit into code) who loves to build things from the ground up.

I have more than a decade of experience in UX, UI, Creative Direction and Front-End Development and Motion, collaborating with teams and clients in creating beautiful functional experiences for the web.

This is what makes them unique and the biggest producer of wine in the archipelago.

Problem

Picowines has been for a while the biggest presence in the Azorean market when it comes to wines. Pretty much every restaurant sells their wines and they’re also very exported to the mainland.

The problem is there was no easy way for outside people to buy their products. and there was also no accessible way to schedule their winery tours.

Solution

The solution was to build an experience which could support three main aspects: selling the wines; scheduling tours; getting people to know what the Cooperative is all about. That’s when we started thinking about the main three sections: Wines, Enotourism and Discover.

The website is easy to navigate and that is coupled with an interactive, beautiful experience with a photos and videos (some of them I took when I traveled there to meet them) of the place and its people.

One of the most important things to show is the island of Pico. It has beautiful, powerful landscapes and the vines are just mind-blowingly awesome. And the fact the wine is planted on those basalt vines, near the ocean, gives the wines its unique characteristics.
