I am a Product Designer with expertise in web+mobile, UI+UX design, as well as branding, wireframing, prototyping, and WordPress. With native-level English and Portuguese, and fluency in French, I bring a strong ability to collaborate with diverse teams and design for different cultural and linguistic contexts.

I am passionate about using design as a tool for positive change and have experience delivering successful projects that meet or exceed business objectives. I believe great design has the power to improve people’s lives, and I am committed to creating visually stunning and user-friendly digital experiences that engage and delight users.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and pets, trying out new restaurants, and learning languages.
