ABOUT
I’m a digital
Product maker

Because I make delightful products to solve pains. With more than 7 years of experience designing, I currently combine the positions of Product Manager, Product Designer and UX Researcher not only to make products pretty, but to make them work.

Thinker I use Design Thinking methodologies to caption user pain-points and areas of improvement
Crafter I always use wireframes and prototypes to conceptualize new functionalities and re-design old ones.
Analyst I enjoy applying quantitative and qualitative user research methods to metric user experience.
Doer I write user stories, lead the product Roadmap, admin the product Backlog and do product testing during the whole cycle.
