About Maria Manuel Moreira, Head of Product Design — years of decisions, not coincidence.years of decisions,not coincidence.

My path started in social media, managing accounts for Citygym Guarda. Watching real people respond to real content taught me what no course could: how attention actually behaves online.

Graphic design came next, then websites — and the questions kept getting bigger. How does a structure feel? How does a layout decide? That curiosity pulled me naturally into UX and UI design.

Today I lead the digital team at TheThrivers, where I help define direction and turn fuzzy ideas into structured, scalable solutions. In parallel, I'm Head of Product Design at Yooddle, building toward clarity, usability, and long-term impact.

Outside of work I'm a strategy-game devotee with a soft spot for narrative-rich titles — quietly the same skill set: systems, decisions, consequences.
