Trained as an industrial designer in Manaus. Designing in Göteborg since 2018, now on the Volvo Cars app.

Along the way I led design for KaiOS feature phones, made apps, car HMIs and exhibition pieces at The Techno Creatives, and worked on two Red Dot Award-winning projects.

Research before pixels

Interviews, journeys and usability tests set the direction. The interface follows.

Complex made clear

Hardware keys, regulation, legacy systems. I like real constraints and finding the simple path through them.

Close to the team

Open collaboration with product, engineering and stakeholders, all the way to release.
