About me

I design for clarity so users never have to guess

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.

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.


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.

My design philosophies

Balance Business & Design – Great design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about solving real business problems while delivering value to users.


Think Big, Prototype Fast – Ideas evolve through action. Rapid prototyping, testing, and iteration bring concepts to life and ensure the best solutions.


Design is a Team Sport – Collaboration is key. The best experiences come from cross-functional teams working together towards a shared vision.

Research Drives Clarity – Data and user insights fuel better decisions, helping teams move forward with confidence and purpose.


Storytelling Creates Impact – Whether through motion, visuals, or interactions, compelling storytelling makes design more engaging, memorable, and effective.
