About me

I’ve worked on everything from startup MVPs to enterprise platforms.
I enjoy the messy middle: asking questions, testing ideas, working with smart people, and turning chaos into clarity. I love teaming up with stakeholders, developers, and other designers to turn ideas into desirable products.

Diary study for waiting experiences — a UX research case study

I’m a UX designer who’s worked across broadcasting, banking, tech, and agencies. I’ve worked in Brazil, the U.S., and Canada, and those experiences really shaped how I think about design: blending different perspectives to build stuff that actually works for people.

Back in the day, I made motion graphics for the Olympics and World Cup at FOX Sports. That’s where I learned the power of storytelling and visuals, lessons I still use to make interfaces feel more human, responsive, and alive.


Outside of work, I’m into sports, reading, long walks, and hanging out with my family. I’m always curious, learning and always up for a good challenge.
