Design Engineer

Design Engineer in Franca, Brazil, working since 2007. My work usually starts where the Figma file and the codebase stop agreeing: I settle it at the token or component level and write down why, so the next engineer keeps going without a call. A decade of that went into financial and government products in Ireland, built to survive regulatory review and a codebase nobody wanted to touch.

Projects

One token system. Primitive tokens, one library. Notes as memory. Claude links and drafts.

About

Since 2007 I've worked across agencies, product companies, and consulting — sometimes as the designer, sometimes as the engineer. Token file, Figma library, one-paragraph 'why' so the next engineer can keep going without a call.
