Olá, I'm Leo. I solve problems, design systems, and tell awkward jokes.

Who am I?

I am a Brazilian product designer based in the Netherlands, currently working at Hexaware. My work revolves around building efficient, accessible, and flexible design solutions that empower teams to create better digital products.

My mom My peers say I'm a passionate and empathic designer, captivated by education and accessibility in tech, always looking for ways to make digital experiences more inclusive. While I specialize in design systems and UX, I consider myself a problem-solver at heart, eager to tackle challenges big or small.

Btw, as a full-time nerd, I'd love to talk about anything fantasy and sci-fi related 🤖 (I'm currently learning how to paint miniatures)

I'm quite knowledeable in design tokens, Figma components, web design, user research, design thinking, interface design, juggling three balls, prototyping, interaction design.

I have good knowledge (and some professional experience) on web accessibiltiy, Arduinos, video editing, knowing how volcanos are formed 🌋, and UX writing.

Knowing how crucial the communication between designers and developers is, I try to keep in touch with the latest coding trends. And currently I'm learning how to build cool and interactive experiences on three.js.

Also, as a UX Designer, Figma is like a second home to me, but I know pretty much every prototyping tool you throw at me. If you find me a new one, I'll treat you to some coffee. Go ahead, take the challenge 😉️

These are two of my most recent works on design systems.

Due to the nature of these projects, I can't publicly share the details, but I'm happy to discuss my learnings, challenges, and approach in a conversation. Feel free to reach out!
