Im a product designer with a background in architecture and 5 years of experience designing digital products across SaaS, B2B, and platform-based systems. Currently working as a Design Lead, I focus on creating scalable, user-centered solutions that balance business strategy and UX clarity.

Ive led cross-functional teams, mentored designers, introduced data-informed design practices, and built tools to streamline design processes. Now, Im exploring Web3, AI and future-forward product design always aiming to make complex systems feel intuitive.

Outside of work, Im Brazilian 🇧🇷, living in the mountain region of Rio with my two cats and my husband <3. Im a big fan of healthy cooking *especially plant-based meals* and once contributed as the designer for a vegan high-protein recipe e-book. I relax by watching anime, exploring crafts like ceramics and painting, or spending time with friends & family.
