I contacted Rui when I needed his expertise regarding a project I was involved with. Rui's intuitive approach and expertise was instrumental in ensuring that the project as developed within the required budgetary boundaries and scope. Rui steered the evolution of the design of the project & the success of the project was mostly due to his herculean efforts in this regard. I would highly recommend Rui to anyone who is looking for a talented, experienced designer & manager.
Gianni Orsini, MSc.
Rui is a role model client, because he doesn't act like one. Although professional, concise, eloquent and organised, he has a highly developed social intuition, which makes working with him like a hobby rather than a business project. But remember: any hobby project together with Rui stops only when results are perfect.

Product Manager

2004 - Dec 2008
BIN international's core business is the development and marketing of products from ideas that have been submitted to "Het Beste Idee van Nederland"; a Dutch annual nationally televised competition open to anyone with a product idea. Each year, thousands of submitted ideas are screened for technical and commercial viability. Those who make the cut are then developed by BIN international's own R&D, or outsourced to a selection of Dutch Industrial Design agencies. As BIN international's Product Manager, I was responsible for the success of all (both internally and externally placed) projects, working in close co-operation with the Marketing Department to develop new business opportunities and successful products from basic concepts.
