Hello

Oi

Hola

I'm a Brazilian product designer, bringing digital experiences to life in today’s newest industries. I craft visually appealing interfaces that delight users and contribute to business growth.

I began my design career as a creative online art director for Brazilian advertising agencies in 2007, where I designed websites, apps, and ad campaigns. In 2015, I had a breakthrough while working as UX/UI/motion designer for a Brazilian insurtech company where I was asked to build the product experience from scratch. Since then, I’ve had the good fortune to work with great design teams at Youse, Wildlife Studio, Pier Digital, Storj, and have even led some cool projects as a freelancer for Credder, Roupa Livre, Leiturinha, NUFloss, Feed Network, and Amplifi Labs. I’ve become a highly specialized product designer and continue to hone my skills out of a thrill for what I do.

When I’m not bringing digital products to life, I can be found hanging out with my charming American husband and our pitbull terrier puppy, face-timing family back in Brazil, and practicing the ukulele or piano at our tree-house home.

If you’re looking for someone to solve problems using cutting-edge design techniques, I’m your gal. Now that you’ve found me let’s talk!

Expertise

Design strategy User Experience Visual Design Interaction Prototype Motion

Process: Before creating a product, I interview users one-on-one to learn their needs. This helps confirm or change design assumptions for the best solution. Working closely with users guides product strategy for real business results. This method provides accurate insight into how people engage with the business, making me essential for decisions on product, brand, and business.

Superpowers: I love my craft. I transform boring, bland, and broken user experiences into exciting, elegant, and memorable human-product interactions.
