Ilse, in the studio
Lisbon, 2026About
Hi, I’m Ilse.
I’ve designed websites and apps for nine years, the last four on my own. Before that I was a senior product designer at Tidal Labs, and before that a designer at Rua Studio in Lisbon.
I like small teams, real deadlines and the part of a project where you find out what people actually do.
Taking new projects from NovemberHow I work
Small projects, one designer, no hand-offs to someone you haven’t met.

Bouldering, badly, with the Boulder Club regulars.
