Hi! I'm Doug.

I'm a Brazilian designer, born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about my journey as a designer.

I'm available for mentorship sessions and consulting. Let's get in touch!

For more than two decades, I've helped organizations achieve their goals through website and mobile app design, with a focus on improving the user experience.

I'm a Nielsen Norman Group certified UX/UI Design Specialist, hold two design degrees and have a solid expertise covering the entire process of digital product design from discovery to delivery, as well as leading UX and design teams.

I have deep expertise in fintech and financial services, having led UX and product design initiatives across banking, investments, credit, insurance, and business finance.

My journey as a designer

< >

< >

At FinBits, I helped shape a financial management platform for SMBs, integrating AI and OCR technologies to streamline cash flow and AP/AR processes. At Banco Modal (Modalmais), I built the UX discipline from the ground up, scaling the design team from 1 to 22 professionals and supporting the transition through its acquisition by XP Inc. Earlier at Rico Investimentos, I led the evolution of the UX and design team, driving strategic improvements across digital investment products.

Before that, I accumulated extensive experience in product and marketing teams as a UX/UI designer and leader.

Additionally, my background in graphic and web design has equipped me with a keen eye for visual aesthetics, user-centric solutions, as well as some front-end coding skills.
