Product designer building digital products and the design systems they ship from
Design systems are where I go deepest: infrastructure that scales across teams and brands, with adoption that holds because it lives in the codebase, not just documentation. AI is part of how I get there, not the headline.

I'm a Product Designer originally from Brazil, now based in Portugal, with 6+ years designing digital products and the design systems that keep them consistent at scale
Design systems are where I go deepest: infrastructure that scales across teams and brands, with adoption that holds because it lives in the codebase, not just documentation. I've built systems backing white-label products in production, where one codebase ships under multiple brands.
AI is part of how I get there, not the headline: I keep design and code in sync so prototypes pull from real production components instead of mockups, and I treat the design system as a wiki that humans and LLMs both read from.
Outside of work, you'll find me walking my dogs Canela and Baunilha, playing video games, or listening to podcasts about whatever sounds interesting that week. I'm curious about random things, which can help me see things from a different perspective.
