Filipe Ligabue
@filipeligabue
I design intuitive health-tech SaaS and mobile experiences from complex clinical workflows.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I'm Filipe, a Product Designer currently based in Brazil with experience working for international clients in the US and Canada. I focus on identifying and closing gaps in user journeys with thoughtful, human-centred solutions.
My work spans healthcare, social services, and user research, where I transform complex workflows into intuitive digital experiences. I've led the design of mobile apps, clinician dashboards, and complex administrative platforms.
I believe design doesn't end at the mockup. I stay close to the development process, prototyping interactions and applying system-level thinking to ensure what ships matches what I intended. I thrive at navigating the tension between user needs and technical constraints. I deliver meaningful impact through craft and collaboration.
