Brazilian, born in Rio de Janeiro and passionate about tech, travel and design, since a kid.
I had my first blog when I was 15, and at that time I was already spending more time in Photoshop than playing video games. That’s why, I started a Computer Science degree with 16 years. After a while, I switched to Communication / Advertising. I’m addicted to movies, TV shows, and plants. I even participated in one of the biggest sites about independent Brazilian music: Rock in Press. Travel is another passion, and I’ve visited more than 50 countries.
I worked for 5 years in advertising agencies with digital and graphic projects. Then, I joined B2W Digital to create personalised selling experiences for partners such as Apple, Samsung, LG, and Microsoft. Furthermore, I had the opportunity to be the UX Leader of B2WAds, an online ad platform, where we achieved an average monthly turnover of R$ 1 million in just 2 years of operation.
As a part-time project, I was co-founder and responsible for UI/UX area at Livrit Startup (one of Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games official mobile applications), which developed a mobile application for people with physical disabilities. We were accelerated by Cisco and Estácio de Sá University.
In Portugal, I was Senior Product Designer at OLX Group working on the European Real Estate and Motors verticals (Portugal, Poland, Ukraine, and Romania) with a focus on advertising and seller monetization. And helped develop 2 multi-brand and multi-product design systems.
I’m certified in UX Management at Nielsen Norman Group, Leading UX at UXalliance and Service Design at Koss, as well as having taken several courses at Hyper Island, IDEO and more.
Nowadays, I’m contributing to build a rockstar design system at Revolut, a global neobank. And mentoring UX to beginner professionals.
The structure of my workflow based on Double Diamond and adapted to a design perspective focused on my daily needs. You can find a version of my Miro template here. These phases work as a map and I use to organize my thoughts and create a vision and documentation of my creative process.
