Working Experience
​
Starting in 2007, I have worked as an intern in two graphic design agencies in São Paulo.
​
From 2011 to 2014 I worked in a design agency focused on retail design, where I developed projects as retail furnitures and indoor communication using 3D and CAD softwares.
​
From 2014 to 2016 I was employed as designer in a toy company called Multikids, where I was in charge of the branding, packagings, marketing and products development.
​
In 2018 I worked as an interaction designer in a 3 months programm called Digital Product School, based in Munich. This programm included several workshops in digital prototyping, AI, UX design, Design Thinking and Agile methologies and processes.
​
From October of 2018 until April 2019 I worked as an assistant in Fab Lab Kamp-Lintfort, participating in several practical and educational projects, which led me to lead a summer course in Dubai about digital fabrication in textiles in 2019.
​
​From 2022 until end of 2024, I am employed at InMachines as a Development Engineer, focusing on the documentation of open-source machines and machine-building workshops. For that, I designed and coded an online 3D assembly manual, in cooperation with Marc Kohlen.
​
Inbetween, from 2023 and end of 2024, I reduced the InMachines job to 50% to work in another part-time employment at Hochschule Rhein-Waal as a project manager in the Euregional Sustainability Center project.
​
In parallel, since 2016 until the present I also occasionally work as a freelance designer.

Motivation
I am very interested in design, sustainability, psychology and technology. My greater motivation is to learn as much as I can in these fields of knowledge and develop meaningful products that might make a difference (even if small) in this world.
