Product design leader at Leany, turning complex operations into AI-powered products—from a banking screen that cut service time by 51%.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
At Leany, I lead design and UX strategy for products that make complex operations more efficient through automation and AI. For Callink, I helped unify six banking systems into one screen for 2,000 operators, reducing average handling time by 51%.
At Builders Venture Studio, I served as UX Design Lead and Head of Experimentation, validating product concepts in two-week cycles. The practice cut validation time by 75%, tested more than 12 concepts, and advanced four to funded development; the Impactos Positivos platform for Sebrae reached more than three million votes.
At Carrefour Brasil, I led end-to-end design of the SVA+ sales platform for more than 100,000 employees, reducing transaction time by 40%. At DPSP Health Services Portal, I led the evolution of a pandemic MVP into a digital health platform that generated R$ 7.5 million in revenue in its first year.
I also founded RocketArts, a subscription SaaS for professional content that grew to more than 1,000 recurring subscribers in Brazil. My work brings together product design, design engineering, AI workflows and product strategy across SaaS, fintech, healthtech and e-commerce.
