First I learn what people are trying to do and where they get stuck. Interviews and usage data come before the first screen.
On a small team, design and product decisions go together. At GoBraids, I'm one of three co-founders and I'm responsible for product and digital marketing.
User research, information architecture, flows, prototypes, and a design system. I deliver a tested interface, ready for development.
Company websites and landing pages in WordPress and Elementor. My digital marketing background comes in here: every page has a goal.
I build with Claude Code, Codex, and MCP, from coded prototypes to production systems, in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, and PHP. I built Manush Studio's ERP in PHP and MySQL: an admin area and a client portal where clients see invoices, payment slips, and requests, with payments through the Asaas API. The studio's clients use it today. AI agents and automation for businesses are part of Manush's Applied AI practice.
Logo, typography, color, and applications for service businesses. Nine brands are in the portfolio, from natural cosmetics to an athlete management agency.
I'm one of three co-founders, responsible for product and digital marketing. I designed the app from research with hair braiders. We launched in January 2026 and opened to the public in September.
A studio I co-founded in 2026 with a business partner; it took over part of Drapo Studio's clients and work. Strategy, branding, websites, and applied AI for clients in Brazil, Paraguay, and the US, mostly on a subscription basis. I designed and built the studio's ERP with AI, including a client portal that is in use.
My one-person studio. Websites, landing pages, brand identities, and design systems for direct clients; I designed every brand in the portfolio. In 2026, part of the clients and work moved to Manush.
I led the app's design team. Our research showed that splitting streaming subscriptions ran into the platforms' rules, and the scope changed before development.
Art direction for digital campaigns, branding, and online presence.
Landing pages, email marketing, and performance creative for inbound campaigns. I mentored junior designers and interns.
Online courses and learning platforms (LMS): information architecture, navigation flows, interfaces, and video.
Books, magazines, catalogs, technical illustration, and brand identities.
