About Me

I’m a Brazilian Senior Product Designer with a background in Industrial and Product Design. My work spans digital products, research and development, physical prototyping and multidisciplinary leadership.

Product Design is my core expertise. I’m most engaged by complex problems where understanding what to build matters as much as how to build it. I combine research, product strategy and hands-on experimentation to turn uncertainty into something we can test and improve.

Experience

Product Design

I frame problems, map complex journeys and design interactions for digital products. Research, information architecture and prototyping help me connect user needs with business constraints.

R&D & Product Strategy

I explore opportunities before committing to a solution. Through research, concept development and experiments, I help teams decide what is worth building—and when to change direction.

Physical Products & Prototyping

My Industrial Design background shapes how I work with physical objects, materials and fabrication. I use CAD, 3D printing and hands-on prototypes to explore how physical and digital experiences fit together.

Multidisciplinary Leadership

I have led R&D initiatives and multidisciplinary teams while staying involved in design and prototyping. I connect specialists, define project direction and help teams make decisions under uncertainty.
