about me
Hello! I’m a passionate brazilian UX/UI Designer and Product Designer with a postgraduate degree in UX Design and over 6 years of experience creating impactful designs—both offline and online. My journey began in graphic design, where I mastered the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere), and evolved into UX/UI Design, where I’ve spent the last 4 years designing seamless, user-centered digital experiences. With a strong foundation in Figma, I excel at building scalable design systems, maintaining style guides, and developing component libraries that ensure consistency and efficiency across products.
I specialize in transforming complex ideas into intuitive, visually stunning interfaces using tools like Figma, Figjam, Miro, and Notion. My expertise spans the entire design process—from wireframing and prototyping to documentation and collaboration. I’m also well-versed in methodologies like Double Diamond, Design Thinking, Agile, and User-Centered Design, ensuring that every project I work on is both functional and delightful.
In every interface I design, accessibility is at the core of my process. I believe that great design is inclusive design, and I strive to create experiences that are not only visually appealing but also usable and enjoyable for everyone. By prioritizing accessibility, I ensure that my designs are intuitive, equitable, and empowering for users of all abilities—making the experience better for all.

✦ Goals: Creation of a high-fidelity prototype for an educational platform for women
This is a deeply meaningful project that won the 2023 Hackathon das Manas. Our goal was to create a solution to support the inclusion of women experiencing incarceration. I designed a high-fidelity prototype for a technology education platform tailored specifically for women, ensuring the content is accessible, intuitive, and easy to navigate.
The project also includes the development of an AI-powered chatbot designed to provide emotional support, guiding users to partner psychologists in more severe cases. This initiative aims to empower women through education while addressing their emotional well-being.
Currently, the project is under development in the state of Amazonas (AM), Brazil, with the potential to create a lasting impact on the lives of women in vulnerable situations.

✦ Methodology: Double Diamond
✦ Goals: Foster interaction within the pet owner community
This app was designed to create a space where pet owners can connect, share tips, and discuss common interests. Users can quickly and intuitively access helpful advice, engage with posts in a social feed, and explore shared interest pages.
A key focus was developing a user-friendly interface with a low learning curve to ensure quick adoption and market success. I played a central role in every phase of the app’s development, including:
• Discovery & Research: Identifying user needs and pain points.
• Product Design & Writing: Crafting intuitive user flows and microcopy.
• Prototyping & Interface Design: Creating high-fidelity, navigable prototypes using Figma.
• Usability Testing: Refining the design based on user feedback.
The result is a fully functional, high-fidelity prototype that delivers a seamless and engaging experience for pet owners.

✦ goal: redesign of the website
I led the redesign of the website with a focus on improving both the visual appeal and the user experience by optimizing the user flow. The goal was to create an intuitive, engaging, and seamless experience that would guide visitors effortlessly through the site. To achieve this, I focused on crafting a visually stimulating interface that not only captured attention but also strategically highlighted key services, ensuring users could easily find what they were looking for.
In addition to enhancing the overall design, I incorporated more human imagery throughout the site. This addition was intentional, aiming to foster a deeper connection with users and inspire trust. By using relatable, human-centered visuals, the website feels more approachable and authentic, building a sense of reliability and comfort for visitors.
