Product Designer & Builder
I build softwarethat changeslives.
Founder of Alcatea — a small, intentional studio crafting software with purpose. No investors, no bloatware. Just tools that serve real people.
I’m Artur.
I design and build
digital products that
matter.
Based in Florianópolis, Brazil. I started Alcatea as a one-person studio with a simple belief: software should serve people, not the other way around.
Every product I make has to earn its place in the world. If it doesn’t solve a real problem for a real person, it doesn’t ship.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Alcatea Studio
Inspired by rigor, clarity, and the constant pursuit of what truly matters.
No investors.
No growth-at-all-costs.
Alcatea is the Portuguese word for a wolf pack — a group that moves with purpose. I run it as a small, independent studio. Every decision is driven by craft, not capital.
The tools I build are simple, useful, and human. Greek philosophy taught me that rigor and restraint produce the most enduring work. That’s the standard.
The Work
Bendito.chat
Co-parenting communication that works.
A calm, focused space for separated parents to coordinate what matters — their children.
Visualizen
Your dream life, visualized.
A tool for intentional living — see the life you're building, not just the one you're running from.
Cãomunitário
Community for pet parents.
Connecting dog owners in their neighborhoods. Walks, playdates, emergencies — all in one place.
Let’s build
something.
