About

I am a multidisciplinary digital designer and front-end developer with over 10 years of experience delivering high-impact work across UI/UX design, interactive web development, branding, and motion graphics. Adept at crafting polished, user-focused digital products from concept to execution, I have hands-on expertise in Figma, React, GSAP, Framer Motion, and modern design systems. Skilled in collaborating with cross-functional teams, leading visual direction, and bridging the gap between design and development to bring bold ideas to life. Originally from Brazil, I’ve built my career across New Zealand, Germany, and now Australia. I bring a global perspective, adaptability, and strong attention to detail to every project. I’m now looking for opportunities where I can contribute creative leadership, technical finesse, and end-to-end design thinking to help shape meaningful digital experiences.
