The Architect of User Clarity
I'm a Melbourne-based Product Designer with a background in architecture and a passion for creating clear, purposeful digital experiences. With over a decade of experience designing physical spaces, I now bring that same structure to digital products — simplifying complexity, streamlining workflows, and crafting user-friendly solutions. I'm especially drawn to B2B tools, internal systems, and challenges that demand deep thinking and smart automation.
Originally from Brazil with Italian heritage, I bring a multicultural perspective and adaptability to every project. The shift from architecture to UX came naturally, both involve designing systems that guide people with clarity and intention.
My work is grounded in three design values:
- →Clarity over complexity
- →Empathy for both users and business goals
- →Intentional simplicity that scales
Outside of design, I'm a curious maker and visual explorer. I practice street photography, portrait work, digital art, painting, 3D design, and experiment with AI tools, all of which, sharpen my eye for detail and fuel my creative thinking. You'll usually find me wandering Melbourne with a camera in hand and coffee not far behind.
