I’m award winning designer. My experience goes from building and managing teams to designing brands, products and services for big brands and startups – from concept to delivery. I’ve worked and directed multi-disciplinary teams on projects across industries: banking, fin-tech, music, sports, technology and others. Among them are brands like Beats, Google, Nike, Magic Leap, O2, Unilever, BP, McDonald’s, Getty Images, Babylon and Nextdoor.
I’m incredibly passionate about the ever changing relationship between people and technology, and the opportunities to create healthy relationships with customers, building a business at the same time.
Throughout my career I have worked in agencies, consultancies and inside companies – starting as a developer, through advertising and finally setting in products. In the meantime, I’ve received a bachelor in Industrial Design and had the opportunity to live and work in São Paulo, NY, San Francisco and London.
My work has been recognised through awards like Cannes, D&AD, Clios, One show, and ADC, as well as in the specialized and non-specialised press.

Work history

Head of Product Design, Creative DirectorMagic Leap
London, United KingdomFull Time
At Magic Leap, I helped start the London office, building a relationship with partners and hiring an incredibly talented group of designers.
In collaboration with teams in both US coasts, my work shifted design language from consumer-only to also reach enterprise clients. This was a massive effort that included a new website, photography and videos. On all, we applied a product-based approach, tracking data and using user research as means to inform iterations or new areas to develop.
In parallel, we worked on building a more accessible design system, ready for internationalisation – starting with a successful release in Japan. The international and product expansion led us to a design a typeface that allowed us to build on the key brand.
From the design system, we also deployed brand and partner guidelines, building a consistent language across screen-based, events, environments, and in-device experiences. This led the team into the first ever cross-company design summit, rallying all the designers within the company to work as a group.
More recently, I led the successful launch of the Magic Leap app store on the web, built a new tool to get unbiased opinions on customer surveys, and have overseen workshops with multiple stakeholders to define the new out of box and in-device onboarding experiences.

At Fathom, I led a team of UX and UI designers working across multiple segments of the Fintech industry, from product discovery through definition, research, build and iteration.
We’ve worked with a planning company on relaunching their web SaaS, building a comprehensive design system for data visualisation and management, as well as delivering their first ever fully-mobile solution. We were also tasked with designing the future-vision of their product in the lead up to the IPO.
We also led consulting companies to enable faster decision making via custom data visualisation tools, a mortgage service company in designing and building a system on the blockchain, and services to help with commodity trading and management. We also collaborated with small scale startups in building brand, MVPs and presentations for investors and their boards.
