A little about me

Hi! I'm a Brazilian Product Designer based in Florianópolis - Brazil.

Through couchsurfing and volunteering with my partner in a backpack trip abroad, I began to rethink my previous career. 6+ years in the audiovisual field and I decided to make a career change once back.

The book "Designing Your Life", by Bill Burnett, sparked a strong interest in me to explore the design world beyond moving pixels.

I fell in love with the experimentation mindset. It was when

I applied the design thinking approach to my own career change.

I created a study plan with a low budget. It took me around $78 and 651 hours invested in studies and practices until I get my first UX opportunity in 2019.

It has been around 3+ years I'm in this field. Since then, I co-founded Vagas UX, have worked as a Product Designer (and Product Manager) for tech companies in Brazil and globally distributed.

I'm happy to share my experience with others and give support whenever needed.

It is all been a grand experiment, and I'm excited to keep learning and iterating.
