@viniciusmanzano
Senior Product Designer specializing in UX strategy, journey design, and design systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Product Designer with 10 years of experience in end-to-end product design, UX strategy, and design systems—always focused on transforming complex problems into intuitive, accessible, and delightful experiences.
At OLIST, I’ve been a technical reference across strategic initiatives in Logistics, Internationalization, and AI, leading design for flows used by 80,000+ active sellers. I partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Business, combining qualitative research, user interviews, and behavioral analytics to improve decision-making and post-launch impact using UX metrics and KPIs.
I also led teams and raised quality through structured discovery rituals, clearer design specs, component documentation, and design critique culture. I’ve unified redundant experiences into cohesive end-to-end journeys, and I’ve built scalable design systems from scratch—aligning stakeholders, mentoring designers, and using agile practices (Kanban, flow metrics) to shorten paths from brief to validated prototypes.
