— ABOUT ME

From Rio, based in SF. I design products where function meets business impact and user experience feels effortless. My range spans AI-powered platforms, B2B SaaS, and mobile apps, all the way to pottery.

My background in Industrial Engineering, Investment Management, and Entrepreneurship & Innovation shapes how I work: with systemic thinking, commercial sharpness, and an eye for elegance in every product decision.

What sets me apart is 9 years of professional experience navigating both Big Four and early-stage startups, giving me the rare ability to balance business vision and technical execution.

I'm driven by the lasting impact that great UX creates, for businesses and communities alike. If you're searching a Product Designer who can talk strategy, ship products, and lead teams, let's talk.
