Hello
In I’ve been designing digital experiences for over 18 years. I’m currently a Senior Design Manager at The Walt Disney Studios, and an advisor to ThreeV, an AI and computer-vision startup co-founded by some very smart people I previously worked with at Deloitte.
I spent a decade in consulting (Deloitte and Accenture, across the US and Australia). Pior to consulting, I’ve worked in agencies and Globo, the largest media group in South America.
For me, design is not just a means of solving business problems; it's a way to go about life. There is an elegant solution for (almost) everything.
Fast facts:
I’m a mom: the hardest, but most fulfilling ‘job’ I’ve ever taken.
I’m originally from Rio, Brazil. And I am also an Australian citizen.
I’m a Beatles fan.
I love all things Disney.
I’m a bit of a traveller.
I’ve lived on four different continents and visited over 50 countries. The travel backlog only grows!
Although technology plays a big role in my life, I love putting the laptop away to spend time outside with my family.
