Product Designer
and Researcher

Passion for learning, with self-taught and dedicated profile, a quick and independent learner. Strong scientific background, with a keen eye for details. Engineering taught me to always seek viable and simple solutions for the customers, and design teaches me to propose those solutions in a clear, simple and elegant way. And they, altogether, lead me through as a systems thinker.

Results-driven: persevering and hard-working, always aiming for excellence and taking initiatives through adversity until the job is done. Years of experience as a PM made me organized, resourceful, but most of all, caring. I sure do believe in the power and importance of numbers, but also, I make sure to keep in mind them, the humans. So I always try to build a solution based on creating an exceptional experience for them, for people.
