About
I'm from Brazil, where I have worked with interaction and digital design since 2008 within agencies and for larger companies such as Samsung and Nokia. Since 2016, I have been at Spotify in Stockholm, reimagining the listening experience for people worldwide. My work ranges from leading strategic, multi-team projects to creating interaction prototypes.
Through the years I've worked with: Service Design • Illustration • Supporting Global User Research Studies but also running small scale ones • Multimodal User Interfaces • Hardware Prototyping in high and low fidelity • Digital Prototyping in high and low fidelity.
In my spare time, I also enjoy: Learning new languages • Music production and creation • Gaming • Cooking • Restoring old record players 🫶

Education
Features
In this article, Janey Lee and Shreya Gulati describe their goals of learning more about designing products for the entire world, not just the US and Europe. In this journey, one of the internal learning initiatives I organised is referenced. Design & Decolonization featured a series of talks from around the industry to help other designers form a perspective on the culture we come from and the culture we reach through our work.
Spotify personas are the topic of much discussion by those in the product, design, and user research communities. I joined our researchers, Olga Hörding and Sohit Karol, to explain how we developed our personas tool, how we use it today, and why it’s so helpful for an autonomous, cross-functional organisation like Spotify.
Service design is an essential tool when tackling the challenges of a swiftly growing company like Spotify. Here, senior design manager Katie Koch explains how it’s an integral part of her team’s process - featuring some of my work around creating Family and Duo plans.
