Miguel Tomás Gomes

UX Writer

Based in Lisbon, Portugal

I've always been captivated by how words can reframe how we see the world. This fascination naturally drew me to Linguistics, where I dove deep into the mechanics of language.

When I transitioned into tech companies, I realized I was sitting at the intersection of two worlds I loved: the precision of language and the complexity of technology. I found myself genuinely excited by system architectures and user flows.

What truly transformed my approach was discovering the power of data-driven decisions. In a field where everyone has opinions about what "sounds better," data became my compass.

Whether it's through quantitative testing or qualitative research, I pair my intuition with empirical evidence as a strong foundation for decision making.

Outside of work, you'll find me wandering through Lisbon's neighborhoods. I'm also passionate about analog photography. You could say there's a beautiful parallel between getting the perfect shot and crafting the perfect string of UX copy: both require patience, intention, and looking past the obvious.
