Oh, hello!

I'm a UX designer from Rio de Janeiro, currently pursuing my Design and Technology MFA at Parsons School of Design. For the past 5+ years, I’ve worked across companies like Cielo, Petlove, Rede Globo, and Jornal O Globo, designing intuitive interfaces for digital payment products, online infographics, and security tools. I love digging into user research and bringing ideas to life through design systems, prototyping, and visual design

Outside of tech, I’m a massive theatre nerd. For the last three years, I’ve also been a Creative Designer for Brazilian musical theatre productions — including record-breaking hits like Beetlejuice and Mrs. Doubtfire. Blending structure and storytelling is my happy place, whether I’m refining a component library or crafting visuals for the stage.
