About

I grew up in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais. The town’s mountains, fiery sunsets, and morning mist shaped my design sense. Nearby Inhotim — part park, part museum, and the largest outdoor art center in Latin America — sparked my passion for blending art with function.

I caught the design bug in my teens while helping out the local brass band. I started with event invites and eventually built a full news site for them — writing copy, posting photos, the whole works. That first taste of digital design pulled me into HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, from Flash experiments to more polished interfaces.

As a kid, I’d spend hours doodling in Windows 98’s Paint. My aunt, a teacher, kept nudging me to play around on the computer. I wasn’t a natural illustrator, but that curiosity kept me experimenting and creating.

From 2008 to 2012, I freelanced in Belo Horizonte, blending design and development to create websites and digital projects for local clients.

A turning point came when I joined Work & Co. Learning from pros like Felipe Memoria taught me how to bridge modernist art with digital design. Icons like Dieter Rams, Ellen Lupton, Massimo Vignelli, and Jan Tschichold shaped my approach to type and layout. Artists like Mondrian, Ellsworth Kelly, and Luis Barragán inspired my use of color, form, and simplicity.

Now I call São Paulo home. I’m driven to craft interfaces and brands that solve problems while looking great. The city’s vibrant food, art, and music scenes keep me inspired and push me to keep innovating. I currently work as a Senior Staff Designer at QuintoAndar’s Centers of Excellence & Innovation, where I connect design teams, explore AI-driven concepts, and ensure brand and product synergy across the company.
With over 18 years of experience in digital and graphic design, I combine art, design, and code to craft impactful experiences.

I’ve led design teams and partnered with brands like Amazon, Google, Meta, Goldman Sachs, Vivo, Havaianas, Petrobras, Globo, and many others. I focus on what matters, cut the fluff, and keep things easy to grasp — resulting in clean, consistent interfaces that are a breeze to navigate.

I mix technical know-how with a sharp eye for style, allowing me to work seamlessly with developers and other professionals. By moving fluidly between creative ideas and real-world execution, I make sure innovation actually works. I’m big on experimenting and rely on real user feedback to fine-tune every solution.

I also draw inspiration from art and architecture. Luis Barragán’s bold colors and simple forms influence the clean, cohesive interfaces I build. Jan Tschichold is the designer who most inspires my grids, the way I structure, and who most influences all of my graphic design work. In my city, I also had the opportunity to first encounter the work of artists such as Adriana Varejão, Cildo Meireles, Lygia Pape, and Tunga, who certainly have influenced and continue to influence my career as a designer. Combining these artistic and technical perspectives helps me create a timeless style that adapts to any project.
I’m always chasing innovation and aim to make each project stand out. From my first websites to large-scale brand work, I strive to create experiences that look great and work even better. Great design balances form and function so every interaction counts.

When a project kicks off, I dig into the problem to set clear priorities and figure out what users actually need. Simplicity isn’t about trends — it’s about creating something built to last.

I like to experiment. I’ll spin up multiple versions and explore different angles until one clicks. Lab tests and real-world trials give me the feedback I need to adjust quickly.

Working with cross-functional teams is my thing. With a background in JavaScript and React, I can speak the developers’ language and make sure ideas are both creative and feasible. I bridge teams so the vision becomes reality.

Design should be built to endure. Good work meets today’s needs and still makes sense years from now, avoiding endless rework. That keeps interfaces consistent as expectations evolve.

I’m always chasing fresh ideas and want every project to stand out. From my early websites to big-brand work, I aim to create experiences that solve problems and look sharp. Great design balances form and function so every interaction counts.
