“There are no words to describe how inspiring Joana has been over the years we have worked together.
I learned a lot from her and she was a true mentor in my professional career. Always with a sweet and tough attitude when needed. Always with new ideas, always with a solution to even the most complex problems, constantly working to achieve differentiating and valuable solutions. With a smile and a story to ease the most tense moments when we needed to relax. I am sure she will be successful in whatever role she plays.
Thank you Joana for all the knowledge you have taught me! 🌻”

"Working with you was one of the richest experiences I've ever had! 🙏 I feel blessed to had this opportunity because, with you, I feel that I have done wonderful things and achieved many goals. There is no leader like you. You have all the qualities of a leader and many more that no one knows. You bring out the best of people, even when they don't realise they have. You have a light, energy and determination that inspires people and makes them want to follow you and your legacy. With you, everything is possible! 🌎🚀✨ Thank you so much for being part of my path 💛 🧭 Whenever you need me, I will be there for you! 💛"

“Joana was a very approachable and friendly person from the first day I met her. Always with a friendly voice and a positive spirit. A very hard working leader and concerned about the well being of the team members she leads. I hope everyone has the opportunity to have a team leader like Joana!“

Daniel Duarte
Digital Product & Motion Designer

“I keep Joana calm and serene tone with me.
I think I even got “bad used to it”.
I usually say that "great design is transparent" but the same goes for good leadership. The hard work is there, but it seems simple and obvious.
I will always remember our fun and empathic team's weekly meetings. I was never afraid to express my opinions in group meetings, even as an intern.
More leaders like Joana please.”

“Joana was my first boss at my first job and I couldn’t be more grateful. She really showed me what a present, flexible, and empathetic boss is.
She is also an excellent and dedicated professional with an exceptional talent for simplifying and deconstructing issues to help others understand.
Joana, thank you so much for everything you thought me. I wish you all the best!”

Ana Calé Gaspar
UI/UX Product Designer

“Joana is the leader any team would need. She is always attentive to our concerns, insecurities and ambitions, and allows us to fly as far as we want. And when we think we can't do it... She fills us with confidence and believes in our potential without blinking 🚀
She always finds time for a brainstorm or a deep hands-on session, so you can reach the best possible solution. And the best part: she will never give you a criticism without immediately returning an idea or suggestion.
She has the right dose of suitability, humility, assertiveness and pragmatism. Thank you for that 🧡”

“A few months ago I was looking for my first job in the field with no great expectations. At the very second interview I met you. It's hard to explain but some people really have a huge appeal and overflow positive emotions around them, and you are undoubtedly one of them. When I finished the interview I was won over. It was a huge "girl power", a whole involvement that the position could have even been working in the canteen and I would have pondered it anyway. I was very lucky and I can only thank you for all the good energy, the warm welcome, the vote of confidence and all your wisdom. You are a great leader, and wherever you go, you leave a positive influence on people. I am sure that, regardless of your path, people will know how to recognize your magic and value. 💛”
