Born in Rio de Janeiro, 1986.
I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where an early interest in illustration drew me towards design. Studying product and visual communication design gave me a foundation in typography, composition and visual storytelling—and made me curious about how people interact with the things we create.
I moved to Germany in 2010 to study Digital Media. As my work shifted from visual communication towards websites and digital platforms, I found myself increasingly drawn to the structure behind an interface: how information is organised, how patterns help people find their way, and how a design can remain coherent as it grows.
That mix of visual craft and structured thinking still shapes my work today. I enjoy working through complex requirements with other people and turning them into interfaces that feel clear and considered.
My Journey
From illustration to design
I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where my interest in illustration first led me to study product and visual communication design. Working on branding, layouts and visual communication taught me to think carefully about typography, composition and how an idea comes across.
Moving into digital design
I moved to Germany in 2010 to study Digital Media. As I began working on websites and digital projects, I became interested in more than their visual appearance: how information is organised, how people find their way, and how an interface works across different screens and content.
Finding my focus
That interest gradually led me towards UX/UI design. I enjoy bringing visual clarity to complex digital platforms and building reusable patterns that help teams work consistently. What still motivates me is the combination of careful design, practical constraints and collaboration with the people who bring a product to life.
My experience
UI/UX Designer
IPG Health Germany, Frankfurt
September 2022 – March 2026
I designed responsive healthcare websites and digital platforms, from information architecture to final UI design. Working with the strategy team, I conducted website audits and competitor analyses to identify opportunities to improve existing sites.
I developed a shared Figma component library with modular templates for international teams and agencies. I also adapted client design systems for different products and worked with project managers, developers and stakeholders through handoff and implementation.

Previously Designer / Junior Designer · 2013–2015
I designed digital portals, websites and applications using modular interface systems. This included information architecture, reusable page types and visual themes that allowed different brands and content to work within shared technical structures. Several of the platforms developed during this period remain in use.
I supported client projects from early requirements through concept presentations and implementation, working closely with clients, project managers and developers.
