I’m Chris Portugal, a Brooklyn-based product designer focused on capturing the signal through the static—surfacing what matters most.

Looking to collaborate with good people building something foundational together, in a world that's always shifting.

About me

I've spent my career exploring the intersection of human needs and business intent, crafting solutions born from that convergence—all within the complex machinery behind every digital experience.

Sometimes what emerges is just a product, but every once in a while, it’s more than that—something meaningful, scalable, and real.

Built to outlast the hype and cut through the noise.

That is where I want to be.
