About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Product Designer with more than 10 years of experience creating digital products, conversational experiences, visual systems, and learning platforms for Brazilian, Latin American, and US markets.

I take end-to-end ownership of the design process, from understanding business problems and user needs through information architecture, interaction design, execution, and delivery. I work closely with multidisciplinary teams while maintaining accountability for the final outcome.

My core expertise is in conversational UX, including dialogue design, NLU architecture, bot flows, intent mapping, fallback logic, UX writing, and tone-of-voice systems. I have designed and optimized conversational experiences across WhatsApp, Instagram, web, and dealer-network channels.

I also have extensive product and visual design experience in highly regulated healthcare, pharmaceutical, scientific, and education environments. I am comfortable balancing usability, brand requirements, compliance constraints, and production efficiency.

I am experienced in remote-first, cross-border collaboration with teams across Brazil, Argentina, and the United States. I work fluently in English and bring a hands-on, structured approach to design operations, documentation, design systems, and legacy-process improvement.

Designed decision trees for vehicle launches across Brazil, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina, as well as quote calculators, dealer locators, and event triggers. Created fallback logic, error prevention, exception handling, CRM messaging, bot copy, and a FORDi tone-of-voice copywriting handbook.

Achieved the lowest human handoff rate during tenure, with approximately 70% autonomous resolution in monthly sessions and a peak of roughly 130,000 bot messages processed in one month. Supported bot-driven digital and phygital activations from concept to post-event reporting.
