Hello & Welcome!
I'm Pedro, Senior Designer and I would like to thank you for stopping by, and taking the time to know about me. Design has become a more visible, relevant, and responsible field than ever before. While this newfound prominence brings opportunities, it also presents challenges that are both global and deeply influenced by the attitudes, ambitions, and training of designers.
From when I started in the field, and from that, I can say that I'm well-versed in user interface and user experience design and also in guiding and managing design teams.
I believe design is knowing to connect product, technology, marketing, sales, customer success, and leadership teams, including direct collaboration with the Product, Marketing, Technology and Sales.
I consider myself a designer who can not only contribute individually across diverse teams but also steer and manage a team of designers.
See below my resumè, and please do not hesitate in getting in touch.
