A Journey from Brazil to the World of Design

Originally from Brazil, I spent a decade honing my skills as a graphic designer in South America. My love affair with design began at 16, inspired by the vibrant flyers and brochures I collected from clothing stores, clubs, and festivals. Today, that same passion drives me to create visually compelling and functional designs that resonate with users.

Inspired by Paul Arden's mantra, "Do not seek praise, seek criticism," I continuously strive to improve my work.

A Deeper Dive into UX/UI Design

My journey into UI Design began in 2007 during an internship at a digital agency. Although coding wasn’t my forte, this experience ignited my love for UI Design. Later, my career path led me to a small digital agency where I refined my skills in visual design and HTML/CSS.

After three successful years as a graphic designer in the US, I felt a calling to further my expertise. I returned to school to deepen my understanding of UX/UI Design, driven by a desire to help people solve problems and effectively communicate my design process. My multi-disciplinary background in graphic design provides a solid foundation for my UX design work, allowing me to approach projects with a unique perspective.

I believe that true growth happens outside of comfort zones. As an avid learner, I thrive on unraveling users' needs and transforming insights into meaningful, functional products.

Beyond Design

When I'm not immersed in design, I enjoy visiting museums, practicing yoga, and traveling. Music is a passion of mine, and although I haven't yet learned to play an instrument, it's on my to-do list. On weekends, you can often find me motorcycling with my husband, exploring new roads and enjoying the freedom of the ride.
