User-centric designer product designer, webflow enthusiast with background in Mining, Oil & Gas
Product designer with 5+ years shipping high-quality digital products — turning complex, operational systems into things regular people can use. Sole designer at an AI infrastructure company for 2+ years, working closely with product and engineering through ambiguity, from discovery and user research to implementation, across five shipped products. Designed the user experience for a two-sided agricultural marketplace (farmers ↔ retailers) under hard real-world constraints. AI-native workflow: I ship my own products end-to-end with AI as a build collaborator, so it's how I already work, not a skill I'm adding. Currently looking for: senior or founding designer roles at startups, product designer at developer-tools or AI-for-emerging-markets companies, or senior product designer at global fintech and productivity-AI companies. I can consider other industries on case by case basis. Based in Brazil. Originally from Mozambique. Working in English and Portuguese.

Using Tech to Help Kids with ADHD Thrive

The current US education system, particularly for children with special needs, is broken and often neglects students' individual needs. Parents are left struggling to educate their kids and even the e-learning has less than a 10% completion rate, so even if parents try to educate themselves to help their kids, they fail.See More

Rumor AvenueContract EmployeeDesign and production for an agency's healthcare, energy, financial, and professional-services clients; shaping and shipping across three concurrent projects in a collaborative environment with asynchronous alignment. - Shipped production sites end-to-end (UX/UI through build) including an 8-month engagement for a leading US hospitality advisory firm, with CMS training so the client's team self-edits and maintains clarity after handover. - Redesigned a regulated medical e-commerce experience mid-stream from existing research; wireframes and IA first, mobile decisions driven by 70% mobile traffic, with phasing to reduce risk while preserving communication across stakeholders. - Built component systems with structured naming and slot-based content areas so client teams can self-edit and maintain their sites after handoff — delivered with video tutorials and written guides.

Senior Product Designer

EasybitsContract EmployeeOct 2023 - Dec 2025 • 2 yrs 3 mosSole designer for 2+ years at an AI infrastructure company; joined before incorporation and built the design function from zero across five products, working directly with the CTO through ambiguity from concept to launch in an international team. - Shipped Extractor, a self-service pipeline builder that let non-technical users configure AI data extraction, replacing a developer-only terminal workflow and shifting the sales motion from live demos to hands-on testing. - Designed the extraction experience behind EasyBits' production pipeline — 45,000+ emails processed with zero errors and no customer complaints. - Turned ambiguous problem spaces into scoped, execution-ready design: capped nesting at four levels with color-coded breadcrumbs, on the judgment that deeper nesting added complexity for a shrinking minority of cases — and shipped primitive lists first, covering ~60–70% of real use cases, deferring nested structures until user behavior justified them. - Designed MedBuddy (AI prescription analysis) around trust: permanent disclaimer, source attribution separating verified from AI-generated answers, user-editable OCR, and no data persistence by architecture—focused on polish and user confidence. - Built a 900+ component design system (atomic, Figma) used across all five products and the website; brand-agnostic, documented for handover; the team credited it with accelerating development and improving consistency. Company crossed €10K MRR (EUR) in July 2025. - Stayed involved through implementation to protect product quality as details emerged; weekly CTO syncs, team Show & Tells, and iteration on shipped products from real usage in a cross functional team with verbal communication and written communication. CTO's exit words: best designer collaboration he's had.
