About

Hello, my name is Jayme Koatz. I’m a 46-year-old father of three, a Polynesian canoe paddler, and a graduate in Industrial Design from UniverCidade (formerly Faculdade da Cidade), class of December 2001. Over the years, I’ve built a multidisciplinary design career spanning product and footwear design, design management, and creative direction, working with brands and factories across Brazil and abroad.

As I explore new opportunities, I bring hands-on experience from leading design teams, coordinating with suppliers in China, curating product assortments, and shaping brand identities. I’m passionate about turning concepts into manufacturable, customer-focused products and leading projects from ideation to production.
