How I usually work with teams

Framing problems, running mixed‑methods research and turning insights into clear opportunities and hypotheses.
Product & interaction design
mapping journeys, designing flows and interfaces for complex B2B, financial and operational tools.
Design systems & accessibility
building scalable component libraries, tokens and documentation aligned with WCAG standards.
Data‑informed decisions
partnering with analytics to define metrics, design experiments and close the loop between research, design and results.

Projects

Unifying consultants’ experience across two brands
Redesign of Natura & Avon’s consultant journeys into a single digital platform for 4M consultants across LATAM. I led end‑to‑end UX from research and journey mapping to flow design and experimentation, reducing cart abandonment and increasing independent purchases.

Investment bank design system

Building a scalable, accessible Design System for financial products
As Lead UX Designer, I created a token‑based Design System used across CRM and investment dashboards. The work unified fragmented UIs, embedded WCAG‑aligned patterns and improved design‑to‑dev handoff, reducing inconsistencies and aligning teams around a shared source of truth.

Ecoa‑me — Workplace violence support

Research‑driven product for real care at work
Mixed‑methods research and product strategy for Ecoa‑me, a platform supporting employees facing domestic and gender‑based violence and LGBTphobia at work. I led interviews, journey mapping and co‑creation with specialists to design a safe triage and counseling experience that puts trust and data governance at the center.
