About
I'm a Brazilian product designer with 10+ years of experience in digital products, specialized in creating & maintaining effective interfaces and powerful design systems. Working with remote clients since 2018, I helped build and scale products for a variety of industries (B2B, B2C, nonprofits) from Silicon Valley, New York and Europe.
I love to tackle the design process end-to-end, thrive on quick and frequent feedback loops, and have extensive experience working with distributed, multidisciplinary teams. Throughout my career, I developed skills in: UI design・remote and in-person usability testing・high and low fidelity prototyping・technical writing・design teaching and mentoring・designOps and management.
In my spare time, I play TV theme songs on the piano, create over-the-top Carnival costumes and build toys for my cats (with a depressingly low success rate).

Education
Volunteering
After participating on a SW Women event in 2016, I fell in love with the method, the experience and the vibrant local community that makes SW happen every year. I've worked as a design mentor in 3 editions (2016, 2017 and 2018), and organized the 2017 edition of SW Women.
Of all the verticals, SW Women is the one for which I have a special affection, because it empowers girls and women to take risks and be leaders in areas where it's still hard to break the glass ceiling.
