About
I'm Daniel Portugal, a multidisciplinary designer working across product design, visual systems, UI, and brand. I co-founded and led product for Wabu, a peer-powered academic network that scaled to 120k+ students, and shaped the visual ecosystem for the UCLA Alumni brand across web, email, campaigns, and physical spaces. I like work that sits where product thinking meets visual craft — and I lean on AI-assisted workflows to move faster without losing the details.
