Improving the Checkout Journey

10 years shipping digital products

In the past years I had experience leading projects and design teams, which contributed a lot to my professional and personal improvement. My experience covers B2B and B2C products, SaaS and fintechs from desktop web experiences to mobile apps (Android/iOS).I consider my research and strategy abilities solid to work with projects from beginning to end, but I excel when it comes to interaction, prototyping and visual design. Also I have a strong interest in coding (I'm a beginner currently, just HTML & CSS knowledge).I'm a hands-on designer focused to be a specialist in the technical area, I like to lead projects and teams, helping the company to grow individuals contributors.

Expertises

Interaction Design

I have extensive knowledge of interaction design; it is my strength and the subject I most enjoy studying and applying in my work. I strongly believe that products with detailed interactions which fits with user needs and behaviors have a big diferential comparing to competitors and will convert and perform better

Visual Design

This topic is closely related to interaction design, so I end up practicing it a lot. I believe that nowadays it is essential for a product to be both beautiful and pleasant for users.

Product Sense

I have the ability to understand how the project I’m working on impacts the company, which metrics are important to track after the rollout, and how to align this effectively with user needs. This way, the company achieves good results, and users get what they need.
