Working Experience 

​

Starting in 2007, I have worked as an intern in two graphic design agencies in São Paulo.

​

From 2011 to 2014 I worked in a design agency focused on retail design, where I developed projects as retail furnitures and indoor communication using 3D and CAD softwares.

​

From 2014 to 2016 I was employed as designer in a toy company called Multikids, where I was in charge of the branding, packagings, marketing and products development.

​

In 2018 I worked as an interaction designer in a 3 months programm called Digital Product School, based in Munich. This programm included several workshops in digital prototyping, AI, UX design, Design Thinking and Agile methologies and processes.

​

From October of 2018 until April 2019 I worked as an assistant in Fab Lab Kamp-Lintfort, participating in several practical and educational projects, which led me to lead a summer course in Dubai about digital fabrication in textiles in 2019.

​

Since 2016 until the present I also work as a freelance designer.

​

​

Motivation 

 

I am very interested in design, sustainability, psychology and technology. My greater motivation is to learn as much as I can in these fields of knowledge and develop meaningful products that might make a difference (even if small) in this world.
