I’m Carol (she/her), a Brazilian–Portuguese designer currently based in Portugal. Outside work, I enjoy cooking (and eating), traveling, learning new languages, crafting, and playing with my kitten, Maria.
How I work
I’m a systems thinker with a pragmatic approach to product design.
I collaborate closely with engineering and product leadership, shaping strategy through research, structured problem framing, and measurable outcomes.
I’m comfortable operating across ambiguity, facilitating alignment, and designing solutions that balance user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
Career snapshot
Over 9+ years designing and shipping products across B2B SaaS, CRM, AI tooling, and enterprise platforms. My experience spans UX research, product strategy, complex system design, IA/LLM workflows, and design collaboration at scale, from early-stage startups to large enterprise organizations.
