About
I'm José, a Product Designer Lead with 12+ years of experience designing fintech and consumer products. I enjoy solving problems that sit beneath the interface, where product decisions, technical constraints, and implementation come together.
I enjoy solving problems where user needs, business goals, and technical constraints compete. My role is often finding the simplest direction that satisfies all three, then making sure that thinking survives the journey from design to production.
Currently based in São Paulo, Brazil, and open to Product Design opportunities across the world.
