Senior Product Designer (IC). Combining behavioral psychology & systems thinking to simplify complex B2B/B2B2C workflows in regulated domains.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Designer with a background in behavioral psychology and 7+ years of experience navigating complex, highly regulated environments (primarily healthtech). I specialize in turning dense workflows into scalable B2B and B2B2C digital products.
As a hands-on Individual Contributor (IC), here is how I drive impact:
Behavioral UX: I design digital environments that reduce cognitive load, remove friction, and save professionals' time.
Systems Thinking: I use Object-Oriented UX (OOUX) to structure complex data and maintain system consistency.
Technical Fluency: I understand front-end logic, which allows me to collaborate closely with engineering teams and ensure designs are built exactly as intended.
Team Collaboration: From standardizing national-scale platforms alongside talented teams to redesigning enterprise tools, I know how to balance user needs with strict business constraints.
My goal is simple: build systems that are powerful, accessible, and actually usable.
