About Me

I'm a husband, a tech geek, a casual chess player, occasional pet sitter and Product Designer.

I'm currently working at the Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew). I'm a Product Designer in the Digital team, where we build experiences to encourage engagement with Kew's mission, facilitate the exploration of our science, horticulture, and collections, promote visits to our gardens, and drive support for the institution via tickets, donations, and shop purchases.

My love for design started with the magazine SuperInteressante, sparking my interest for infographics. I pursued this passion by studying Social Communication - Journalism at PUC-Campinas.

I am motivated by solving real problems, improving my skills, and helping others grow as designers. I'm also a continuous learner, enjoy coding using Cursor and believe that new AI tools are paving the way for a new generation of Designer Engineers.

Interested in Star Trek, Vertigo, Radiohead, and Arch Linux. When I'm not working, you'll find me building webapps, playing on Lichess or reading graphic novels at my local coffee shop. My approach is simple: never settle, always evolve.
