Biography

I am an Architect.
I am a Product Designer.
And now I am Head of UX Design and UX Consultant.
I have created and developed over 700 projects across various industries throughout my career.
Within them, I have saved millions of dollars and generated millions in profits for companies.

However, the most important ones were those in which I generated smiles, turned dreams into reality, and saved lives.

I help people and companies on the journey to the top of their mountains, through 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. And whenever I do so, I get closer to the top of my mountain.

I have contributed to, created, developed, and launched small and large projects for many companies such as Rivian, DevReady, Viasat, NTT Data, Propetro, Banco Itaú, the Federal Government of Brazil, among many others, and I am the 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 at Nomad Labs, a company I founded in 2004.

In the education field, I'm 𝗨𝗫 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 working with some of the best Mentor Schools in the world like Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) and ADPList.org. I actually run my own UX Design Career Mentorship Program and I'm also 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗿 in some Universities in my country for more than 18 years. I was honored to teach and learn with more than 1800 students, between graduate, post-graduate, and mentorships.

As a team player, I tend to view myself as a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 and have a 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹, 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲, 𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆.

My motto is: I move forward. Always.
