The role of the designer is that of a good, thoughtful host anticipating the needs of his guests.

Charles Eames

I am a designer with 5+ years of experience. I have designed for companies, for myself, for other people. I have designed with Figma, with code, with my bare hands and with very weird materials during my Graphic Design degree.

Most of my professional experience has been designing software for credit card machines, at Stone. You probably have a lot of questions about what that means — don’t be afraid to ask, I enjoy talking about it.

More than a designer, I am a human: a human who rides motorcycles, models for friends’ brands and gets paid in tattoos, desperately hopes to get a Pantone shade named after her someday, and absolutely treasures her girlfriend, Jade.

Experience

  • Stone Co.2022 — 2026

    Product Designer

    As a designer for the In Person Sales team I was the voice of design for all 22+ devices and 3 development platforms for the biggest acquirer in the country. My favorite project was building an App Store (à la Apple) that ran in a credit card machine and within its first 6 months converted more than 40% of the partner base to this new, easier and more engaging flow.
