Bio

Originally from Teresópolis, a small town in the interior of Rio de Janeiro, a pet parent and photography enthusiast, I began my academic journey studying Systems Analysis. However, my true passion has always been focused on the visual aspect, which led me to make a natural transition into design, where I truly found my calling.

In recent years, I have dedicated myself to structuring processes and governance to ensure scalability and consistency within teams (Design Ops), in addition to leading design teams.

I am a Design Systems enthusiast, as I believe consistency and scalability are fundamental to the success of any brand or product. Guided by the principle that simplicity has the power to make a significant impact, I dedicate my efforts to creating solutions that reflect this belief.
