About

👋 Hey! I'm Oly, a Brazilian Product Designer with over 9 years of experience crafting exceptional products. On top of that, I wear the hat of a design leader, helping fellow designers find their path to success.

My passion is design, and I work on the end-to-end process, from inception to execution. I'm always drawn to the cutting edge of innovation, where I can create products that truly make a positive difference in people's lives. Yep, I'm that classic designer who believes that design has the power to change the world for the better.

I'm also a free spirit. I don't confine myself to labels or rigid roles. What matters most to me is embarking on a fair journey with good people and leaving a positive impact on the world. 🤘
