First-to-market from 0 to 1
Owned end-to-end design for Brazil's first AI SDR platform, from discovery and conversational interface design to production-ready specs for engineering handoff. Reached break-even in under 12 months, scaling to ~100 contracted AI agents at ~60% the cost of a junior SDR.
Supervisor mode and adoption
Ran stakeholder interviews to identify the #1 adoption barrier, distrust in letting AI touch the sales pipeline, then designed a 3-level human-in-the-loop autonomy system (total approval, selective, full automation). Framed the AI as a virtual team to manage, using an interface people already knew.
Built for trust
Designed a knowledge base grounded in 1,500+ proprietary sales emails and the company's own materials, engineered to say "I don't know" rather than invent an answer, the layer that got clients to trust the agent with their pipeline.

First product hire, from zero to a market
Joined before there was a team. The original idea was a matching app; we found the real barrier was legal, not discovery, and rebuilt the product around a payment guarantee instead, cutting repossession from 12-18 months to about a week. Scaled to R$140M+ in guaranteed contracts, raised R$6.5M.
Removed guarantor requirement
Mapped multi-stakeholder workflows across tenants, owners, and brokers, and worked with the founder and a legal consultancy to turn a legal reframing into product. Raised tenant approval to ~90% by reading signals like informal income, dropping guarantors and large deposits entirely.
Scaled without headcount
Designed a self-service admin platform for CS, Finance, Legal, and Risk teams, and a universal property registration that cut listing time from 2 hours to 15 minutes, backed by a R$65M credit line for receivables.

4h to 15min workflow redesign
Designed an AI-assisted confirmation flow that read purchase orders in any format and matched them to SKUs, cutting a 6-person manual process to a single operator and enabling same-day urgent deliveries. Reduced CS intervention from 100% to 13%, and the same team handled 7x more orders.
Design system built for scale
Matured a bare-bones design system and form patterns to carry structured data across purchase managers, foremen, store owners, pickers, drivers, and CS, serving stakeholders with varying digital literacy. Ran usability testing and cut manual processes by 85%.

Promotions engine redesign

Recurring-payment infrastructure for Brazilian nonprofits
Identified that nonprofits needed payment infrastructure and built it: a CRM, payment gateway, and donor tools on a shared design system for 400+ organizations including Greenpeace, Doctors Without Borders, UNHCR, and WWF. Processed R$650M+, raising billing success from ~70% to ~92%.
Built a recurring payments gateway from scratch
Negotiated bank integrations, then used testing and data analysis to design a charge retry algorithm. Cut F2F donation processing from 7+ days to under 10 minutes and effectively eliminated data-entry errors.
Team and scale
Built and led a 12-person cross-functional product team, remote-first and documentation-heavy, as the company grew to 40+ people, covering product, design, development workflow, support, CS, and HR in the early years.
