I’m a Brazilian product designer based in Recife, working with international clients & teammates since 2018.
I currently work as full-stack designer at Apple Developer Academy and design system specialist with Sonder Collective.
background
I design digital products since 2015, and for a long time before that I've been solving problems and bringing ideas to life in other areas of design, from fashion to typography. I'm adaptable, fearless and driven by the impact my work has on those around me.
In my career as a design consultant, I have built a design team from the ground up, created complex web products and tailored design systems for a wide range of industries from Silicon Valley, New York and Europe.
design approach
I consider every single thing that I build (whether it's an interface, a lecture, or a UI component) as an experience, striving to make it efficient, delightful and simple. I think of myself as a generalist designer, and I enjoy working through a problem from discovery to delivery, always drawing on the specialized knowledge of my teammates and product stakeholders.
I believe that every step of the design process should be visible to the entire team (even when it's messy), and I thrive in environments where feedback loops are quick and constant. The craft of design is very important to me, and I like my artifacts to be elegant and polished.
beyond work
I have many interests and passions outside of product design. Some of my hobbies include playing the piano, creating Carnaval costumes (Recife has the best Carnaval in the world) and building wood furniture.
Follow me on instagram to see my elderly cats and some travel journals once in a while. I also have a dormant personal blog that someday might come back to life, and is a random but interesting glimpse into my mind (in 🇧🇷).
