UX & User Research

Talks, lectures, and events

Conferences and events that I have the honour to contribute

One of the things that I’m most proud of is how the UX community is generous and shares experience and knowledge. I feel lucky that I’m also part of this community. I collaborated with IxDA São Paulo from 2015 to 2019 and Service Design Network Brazil from 2016. I also facilitated many workshops through the Coletivo Mola initiative.

I’m also glad that I had the opportunity to talk at great conferences and events:

Leading a multidisciplinary UX team towards a common goal

Interaction South America 2015

Talk about processes, methodologies and tools to motivate and harness the potential of an interdisciplinary team, working on different fronts of the same product while maintaining the coherence and the same experience across all channels and services.


Beyond screens: UX on mobile devices

UXConf BR 2015

Talk about challenges when designing solutions for mobile devices. Android and iOS-based devices are popular platforms, so their problems are well-known (and, often, the workarounds too). However, other devices, such as card reader devices, present challenges that have not yet been explored.

UOL HOST: diplomacy for a good experience

Interaction South America 2013

In this lecture, I tell how product analysts started to follow the programmers’ test environment and brought the designers into the development process, creating an environment of diplomacy and space for conversation, where the necessary continuity for developing a product was possible and viable.


I spent so much time developing this product, but no one uses it. What now?
