Experienced Product Designer specializing in UX/UI and Service Design.
What I'm looking for
With over a decade dedicated to design, I specialize in UX/UI Design and currently work as a Product Designer. My journey includes significant contributions to e-commerce platforms like MadeiraMadeira and Loja Deca, where I developed web and mobile solutions for fintechs such as EQI and Terra Investimentos. I have also consulted on projects for clients like Renault on Demand and Dexco.
Holding postgraduate degrees in Service Design and User Experience Design, I possess a solid academic foundation and an innovative perspective to tackle complex design challenges. Driven by the challenge of transforming technical complexities into simple and elegant solutions, I have acquired programming knowledge to facilitate communication with developers, allowing me to contribute more effectively and efficiently.
I seek opportunities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams in an environment that values creativity and offers pathways for professional growth and skill expansion.
