An experienced experience designer

I bring over a decade of experience in UX and product design, with a deep background in both agency and in-house environments. I’m drawn to complex challenges that require clarity, creativity, and collaboration — and I care just as much about how a product works as how it feels. My goal is always to create elegant, intuitive solutions that meet user needs and move the business forward.

Committed to growth, for everyone

I lead with empathy and high standards. Whether I'm coaching designers, shaping a team culture, or pushing a product vision forward, I believe good leadership creates the conditions for others to thrive. I love building systems that empower others — from reusable design frameworks to clearer ways of working — and I make space for growth at every level.

A diverse background

As a first-generation American and dual citizen, I grew up between cultures, languages, and perspectives. That lens has shaped how I approach design: with curiosity, adaptability, and care for nuance. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French — and I bring that same fluency to collaborating across disciplines and teams.
