@guilhermeskinner
Product Designer & Design Engineer at TeachMe.To, where I shipped a checkout experiment that lifted purchases 17%.
What I'm looking for
At TeachMe.To, I own the conversion loop across checkout, landing pages, browse and listings—from research and design through front-end build, release and analysis. One checkout experiment lifted purchases 17%, and the lead-capture form I designed raised enquiry rate 75%.
Before that, at Mercado Bitcoin and 2TM's venture builder, I helped found Meubank and Clearbook. I built and managed a team of 22 and took a product from the ground to MVP launch in nine months; at Mercado Bitcoin, I also led design and development for the exchange's first mobile app.
I now design and build products with engineers, using research and strategy to guide what I ship. On the side, I designed and built Helprism, CherryPick and MusicGenius, and I enjoy turning a vague problem into something real that users can try.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
I own conversion at a learning marketplace with 5,000+ instructors, 30,000+ students, 250+ US cities. I run the whole loop alone across checkout, landing pages, browse and listings: research, design, front-end build, QA, release, analysis.
- 40+ experiments concluded, 15 of them run end to end since June 2026. Every one closed against a metric set before launch, with the failure reason named.
