Hi,
I'm Laís Lara
End-to-end designer who simplifies complexity visually.
Senior Product Designer with a unique perspective shaped by Product Management experience.
I bring 5+ years of expertise in designing user-centered products for fully remote startups. I excel at leading design initiatives while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver impactful solutions.
Collaborated with:
Design Strenghts
From strategy to launch to optimization.
My curiosity engages me to keep studying about UX/UI, while also learning about research, product management, storytelling, business and other subjects related.
Holistic Design Thinking
Designing intuitive user experiences by considering the entire user journey and crafting cohesive workflows that meet both user needs and business goals.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Thriving in collaborative environments, working closely with product managers, engineers, and marketers to deliver impactful products.
Problem Solving
Translating user needs into actionable problem statements and design effective solutions to address complex challenges.

Deliver
The Double Diamond design model guides my process. And it is a non-linear iterative process.
The strategy and design tools I choose for each phase are based on the context and what I need to move forward with more confidence.
Those four phases remind me to get insights into the problem, frame the problem, explore potential solutions and test them.
Experience
+5 years working fully remote for tech companies in Brazil and globally distributed.

What people have said
"Her impressive work ethic and design skills made a substantial impact on our team, and she set a high standard for quality and commitment. I’m genuinely impressed by her drive, resilience, and ability to produce exceptional results under pressure. I’m confident she’ll bring the same excellence to any future endeavor, and I wish her nothing but the best."
"Lais stood out not only for her impressive technical competence but also for her incredible team spirit and ability to contribute positively to all areas of the company. She is extremely easy to work with, extremely collaborative, and has a tangible impact on improving processes and the final quality of our products. Beyond her professional contributions, Lais has a special ability to boost team morale, always willing to help her colleagues and promote a healthy and productive work environment."
"Lara is a great leader in managing and developing complex projects at high speed. Her technical and leadership skills make her a PM capable of aligning large engineering, marketing, and design teams on high-impact projects for business conversion and new customer acquisition. In addition, she is a disciplined, fun, and inspiring person. I definitely recommend working with her!"
"Laís has proven to be a fundamental part of our team since her arrival. She is very engaged and organized, always contributing to the team, bringing new ideas, and actively participating in relevant issues to connect our parts of the whole."
I had the opportunity to lead Lara, and I'd recommend working with her as she is:
- very reliable; as challenges, simple and complex problems arise, she'll make her way into getting things done in an organized and coordinated way.
- positively critical; she'll challenge the status quo, ask insightful questions and bring new ideas to the table, which helps a lot in devising new ways of doing things, getting candid feedback, and collaborating effectively.
- extremely curious; Lara loves to read and find new sources and topics which she also shares them with others; you can expect she'll add a lot of value and knowledge to the team.
- an amazing asynchronous communicator; working with a remote global team requires having this skill quite developed, and she's quite good at it.
