About Rafael de Paula
Founding Product & Design Leader at Yakoa
I'm a 34-year-old Brazilian living in Lisbon.
Across 15 years, I moved from Computer Science to Design, built startups from 0 to 1, led product and design teams, and explored how to mix design, data, and software development to build creative, simple, and high-performing solutions.
I'm building products and teams from 0 to 1 at Yakoa.io where we are defining how blockchain intellectual property protection should be done.
