Before creating my own products, I spent several years working with startups and established companies across Europe, focusing on UI/UX prototyping, interaction design, and building intuitive digital experiences. I specialized in crafting interfaces that feel natural, deliberate, and human — often bridging the gap between concept and execution through thoughtful design systems and product strategy. Today, I'm the creator of Frames, a note-taking app for analog photographers designed to document shot metadata, film stock, and creative intent — all without getting in the way. Built for iOS and macOS, Frames helps photographers preserve the context behind every image, blending analog process with digital precision. The app emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and utility — drawing on my background in interaction design to stay out of the user's way and support creative flow. At the heart of my work is a commitment to building tools that respect both craft and time — products that don’t just work, but feel right. I’m especially interested in areas where design, photography, and memory intersect, and I continue to explore ways technology can support analog practices without diluting their essence.

I’m Rita Isabel Vilhena, a Multimedia Designer, Artist, and Creative Photographer working under the names Rita Isabel and Rita Vilhena. My creative work lives at the intersection of emotion, philosophy, and visual storytelling, where art isn’t just seen, it’s deeply felt. Through photography, digital art, and multimedia design, I build visual narratives that explore themes like heartbreak, grief, identity, decay, and personal transformation. I’m passionate about creating work that evokes emotional depth and invites reflection, whether through surreal self-portraits, fashion editorials, or expressive visual essays. I speak openly about mental health, especially my own experience living with borderline personality disorder. My art is a space where I process intense emotions and give voice to what often goes unspoken. Vulnerability, healing, and emotional honesty are at the core of everything I create. Influenced by psychology, surrealism, Japanese aesthetics, and Portuguese heritage, I combine symbolism, emotional theory, and cultural elements into striking, meaningful visuals. I’ve been internationally awarded for my photography and am currently completing studies in Development of Multimedia Products. With a love for storytelling, fashion, and creative experimentation, I bring a unique voice to every project, turning inner experiences into powerful visual worlds.
