About me
I started my career studying Computer Sciences and was always curious and passionate about design. I am a self-taught Graphic Designer and gained the knowledge and experience working in the creative market to become an Art Director - and made a living out of it for 8 years!
What drives me is being part of diverse and cross-functional teams that will use my skills and thirst for new challenges to learn, help, grow and get better together. I’ll always go the extra mile, and be ready to collaborate and have fun.
Over the course of my career, I found a passion for designing with purpose and creating functional solutions for users. So I invested in studying User Experience Design and learning new skills in order to migrate into Product Design. At first, I was working as a freelancer and managed to work with interesting financial solutions and cryptocurrency trading startups while still working in the creative market as a contractor.
This part of my journey happened back in Brazil where I lived almost my whole life - with a 3 years hiatus living in Argentina, my original homeland. In October of 2018, my wife and I moved to London to chase new dreams and where our beautiful daughter was born and my product designer path continued with success.
In 2019 I've got the opportunity to join Nutmeg and be part of an amazing team full of talented professionals and super friendly team players. I learned a lot interacting with product managers, business analysts, engineers, scrum masters, customer support agents, marketing creatives, compliance and financial advisors in an Agile environment.
This experience kick-started my journey to becoming the professional I am now. Improving digital experiences by creating solutions based on user-centred best practices and focusing on product strategy became my standard. Also, the constant collaboration with fellow UX designers, developers and front-end engineers made me realise how much I love to work with design systems.
The second big chapter of my career in the UK was helping to maintain and develop the NewsKit Design System as Senior User Interface Designer. What a ride it was! Being part of a dedicated design systems team was an eye-opener experience. I grew so much in such a short time being exposed to great processes and a solid team full of amazing and talented people that elevates the NewsUK product platforms every day.
I had the chance to be involved with one of the current top multi-brand Design Systems in the business and this solidified my path in the discipline, helping me decide to be dedicated full-time to improve myself as a Design System and DesingOps specialist. And the end of this journey was full of joy, satisfaction and gratefulness.
And where does this journey continue? I'm now headed to FanDuel with a great opportunity to work in an industry that I'm passionate about, for a company that I've always admired and with the amazing chance of taking my career to another level by contributing and helping to shape the Formation Design System.
Ready... set... HUT!
...and my superpowers.
I'm not Flash but I'm fast! I can quickly learn something new and will deliver just in time for saving the day. ⚡️
Sometimes I can be just like Batman and go into the night to get the job done by myself, but I'm also a lot like Robin, partnering up and working together to achieve objectives and results. 🤜🤛
The world is big and I might not be a neighbour to everyone but, just like Spiderman, I'm a friendly one. I'll be funny most of the time but when things got serious I'll be swinging around buildings or fiercely climbing walls to fight and reach a goal! 🎯
