01
Discover
User interviews, surveys, contextual enquiry — I go deep before going wide.
02
Define
Personas, journey maps, clear problem statements — no wireframes until the problem is crystal.
03
Design
Flows, wireframes, hi-fi prototypes — structured, system-aware, accessible.
04
Deliver
Handoff, implementation, testing, iteration — I stay close to the product until it ships.

About me

A designer who connects the dots.

I'm Ana — a Product Designer who came to UX through a decade in physical design. Industrial and interior design taught me to see the whole system, not just the surface. Now I apply that same thinking to digital products.

I work across the full design cycle: research, discovery, interaction design, and implementation. I'm most at home when a product deals with real complexity — where logic, structure, and usability need to work together.

I've lived and worked in Brazil, Ireland, Portugal, and the Netherlands. That international background shapes how I approach teams, users, and ambiguous problems.
