Por onde já trabalhei?

Sobre

Há 4 anos crio produtos digitais buscando o equilíbrio entre o que o usuário precisa e o que faz a empresa crescer. Gosto de pegar problemas difíceis em ecossistemas complexos e transformá-los em jornadas simples de usar.


No dia a dia, aproximo design e engenharia e testo ferramentas novas para ganhar eficiência, como IA (Claude) e Obsidian para gerenciamento de memória. Acredito num design direto, funcional e com uma estética autêntica, que tira barreiras do caminho e entrega métricas reais.

■ Process

How Iusuallywork.

The ideal process has 6 stages, but reality calls for adaptation. With tight deadlines or technical constraints, I adjust the pace: I prioritize the riskiest hypotheses, use AI to speed up research and prototyping, and validate early.
