Hi, I'm Diogo.
I work solo. Multi-discipline studio: web, design, game-dev, product.
I rebuild websites for brands I'm a fan of, because being a fan of what you build is half the work.
Jack of all trades by choice; specialist by experience. As long as I get the tech, I can do it.
I rebuild websites of brands I'm a fan of — because being a fan of what you build is half the work.

Patch notes
What just shipped.
Cardinal Studio is a working studio, not a static page. This is what changed recently.
-
Site rebuilt from scratch. FireRed palette, game-feel chrome.
Stat-block hero, achievement cards, direct line. The site now matches the brand spec instead of drifting.
-
First customer shipped — CPS Plastering & Rendering, Coventry.
Full rebuild with drag-to-compare case studies, quote form, Google/Trustpilot social proof.
-
Bilingual EN + PT-PT pipeline lands.
PT-PT primary at /pt-PT, EN at root, slot-key contract validated by three CI scripts.
-
Studio reboot. Cardinal Studio v2 begins.
Pivot from generic SMB sites to brands worth being a fan of.
