Senior UX/UI Designer at First Decision who built and maintains its product design system, from component library to visual standards.

Brazil

Message

At First Decision, I design and prototype web and mobile experiences in Figma, from wireframes through interactive prototypes. I built the product design system from scratch and maintain its component library and visual standards.

At Associação Educativa do Brasil / SOEBRAS, I owned the rollout of new layouts across approximately 20 higher-education institutions, delivering and standardizing more than 400 pages. I also managed maintenance and new requests for launched sites alongside delivery deadlines.

At Evolve Tec, I conducted user research, mapped journeys and flows, and documented screens for engineering handoff, validating them against WCAG 2.1 AA. Through my independent studio, Rdesign e Web, I deliver Figma-to-WordPress websites and run usability and quality testing before launch.
