Product and Experience Designer with 20+ years of experience designing complex digital products across fintech, startups, and agency environments.
I combine systems thinking, product strategy, and hands-on design to simplify complexity, improve decision-making, and create more coherent user experiences. More recently, I’ve been exploring AI-assisted workflows and new ways of designing and building digital products.
Originally from São Paulo, Brazil, I moved to Ireland in 2011 for what was meant to be a short English exchange — and never left. I’ve been working in design since my second year of college, evolving from visual design into product design, systems thinking, and experience strategy over the years.
My journey began with a love for drawing, graffiti, and visual expression, which eventually evolved into digital design and later into UX and product leadership. Today, I focus on simplifying complex systems, improving product experiences, and staying closely connected to the craft of design while exploring how AI-assisted workflows and emerging tools are reshaping the way we design and build products.
