Curious, Innovative, Analytical, Persistent

Background

I'm a Brazilian-born American citizen with a diverse career trajectory.

From hospitality to commercial real estate, and now User Experience and Product Design, I am passionate about providing exceptional customer service and building meaningful relationships. It's fulfilling to know that I've made a positive impact on someone's life or business.

For Fun

Concerts
(mostly heavy metal)

There's nothing like the energy of a live concert!

Mostly heavy metal, but also love bluegrass, jazz, and the occasional Depeche Mode or Lizzo (canceled).

Brazilian Jiujitsu
Purple Belt

I'm very active and enjoy practicing jiujitsu, which I've been doing for the past seven years. Physical activity is crucial for my overall well-being, and it keeps me grounded and focused.

Food & Drinks
With My Wife

My wife and I love exploring new restaurants and bars, and we appreciate the artistry of mixology and cuisine. There's always something new to try, and I am too curious not to try them all.

Career Path & Why it Matters

Skills

I've learned a lot throughout my professional experience and through life. It did take me a while to realize that I don't need to be an artist in order to be creative.

Now, I get to combine my creativity with all soft and technical skills acquired during years of experience in hospitality and commercial real estate.

Add to that the intensive education in UX design and continuous learning, and I am unstoppable.
