What I'm looking for

I'm a very entrepreneurial and curious person and the most part of my experience was working for small and big startups: ContentTechs, FinTechs, HealthTechs and etc

Nowadays, I'm looking for an opportunity as a designer leader or equivalent to a senior position with the intention to help the company be driven by the design.

I'm a Brazilian Product Designer focused on digital products and services with over 10 years of career. I work as a Product Design Lead in the No Zebra Network (NZN), a brand that owns verticals such as Tecmundo, Baixaki, ClickJogos, Não Entre Aki, Voxel, Mega Curioso, SuperDownloads, My Series, FikaDika, The Hardware Show and The Brief. I was one of those responsible for creating the new brands and rebuilding the TecMundo, Baixaki and ClickJogos sites (adding more than 23 million monthly active users).

During my professional journey I had the pleasure of serving major brands in different areas: Envato, VideoBlocks, Wattsense, Trello, Asus, Microsoft, Digital Results, Zendesk, Algar Telecom, Udemy, Udacity, Intel, Mackenzie, Google, Martins / Tribanco, IBM Brazil, OMO, Caixa and etc

# Enterprises:
- FerreiraStudios: In 2015 I founded FerreiraStudios - one of the first YouTube Design channels that today has 70,000 subscribers and 3 million views, where I share reflections, design methods, tips on creative tools and insights on how to think about design in organizations. In addition, when I'm not producing content, I work as a consultant on specific innovation projects and product mentoring.

- ProductUp: In 2019 I founded ProductUp with two more partners - a content service focused on microlearning to promote continuous learning about digital product management.

# Why did I choose design?
Every day is a new opportunity to make and be the difference, that's why I chose Design, because I believe that this difference is born out of people's understanding and how to solve business and world problems. It's about waking up early and understanding why we're here.
