Designing My Way
I'm a Brazilian Product Designer based in Florianópolis - Brazil.
In 2017, as I embarked on a backpacking trip, I found myself questioning my career path of 6 years in the audiovisual field.
The freedom and flexibility of couchsurfing and volunteering sparked a desire for change. But where to start?
It was when I read the book "Designing Your Life," that inspired me to explore design beyond moving pixels and adopt an experimentation mindset.
I applied design thinking to my career change, created a low-budget study plan and with $78 and 651 hours, landed my first UX role in 2019.
Since then, I've been sharing my learnings with the UX community, co-founded Vagas UX, and worked as a Product Designer and Product Manager for tech companies in Brazil and globally.
I thrive in collaborative environments and cherish the balance between creative problem-solving and focused deep work in designing end-to-end features and products.
I enjoy thinking visually and bringing a UX mindset to all aspects of my life.
Whether it's sharing resources with the UX community, illustrating ideas, or trying out new recipes, it became part of my life to explore and experiment.
My values
What guides my decisions and behavior.
Be simple
Necessity and enough even over desire
Straightforward instead of exaggeration or assumptions
Quality even over quantity
Be curious
Curiosity instead of assumptions and rightness
Openness to possibilities instead of protecting what I've become
Wisdom even over knowledge
Be fair
Diverse perspectives even over single stories
Be mindful even over new experiences
Hold to my values instead of pleasing others
