What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a certified Project Manager and UX Design Strategist with over six years of experience in delivering digital products that seamlessly integrate user-centered design with Agile execution. My expertise lies in leading cross-functional teams, managing product lifecycles, and aligning stakeholders from discovery to delivery. I am CAPM® and CSM® certified, and I excel in UX strategy, usability testing, design systems, and AI-enhanced workflows. My ability to translate research into scalable, intuitive solutions has consistently met both user needs and business goals.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded end-to-end digital projects for various clients, including Brazilian diaspora entrepreneurs, where I provided strategic UX/UI consulting and conducted user research to inform design. My role as a freelancer has allowed me to independently manage diverse digital projects, ensuring exceptional, user-focused outcomes. I have also led cross-functional teams at Herbalife Nutrition, optimizing eCommerce design projects and significantly improving user satisfaction and conversion rates.

As a trilingual professional, I thrive at the intersection of design, innovation, and execution. I am passionate about mentoring clients on UX best practices and enhancing their online presence. I am currently seeking opportunities in UX Strategy, Digital Project Management, and Product Operations, where I can leverage my skills to drive impactful results.
