About me

I'm a product designer working in clinical software for healthcare organizations, focused on tools for surgical teams and hospital leaders.

My work is grounded in research. I'm drawn to the why behind people's behavior — what they leave unsaid and what motivates them beneath the surface.

Living across Brazil, Portugal, Australia, and the USA gave me an early fluency in reading people across cultural registers, a useful lens in clinical settings where communication is layered and time is short.

I came to design through veterinary medicine, an MSc in Wildlife Parasitology, and a love for the arts and humanities. Design turned out to be the place where analytical thinking and human curiosity naturally converge.

Off the clock I'm probably hiking, veganizing recipes, or speaking Portuguese with my cats.
