Hey, nice to meet you
I’m Carlos, an interdisciplinary designer living in Brazil. I have a Bachelor’s in Industrial Design and 25 years of experience – 10 years as Web/Graphic Designer and the last 15 years balancing user needs and business goals.
I’m Renata’s husband, Alice’s father and I have a French bulldog named Sky. I’m obsessed with movies and TV series, animation, and I love listening to heavy metal, punk, industrial, rap and classical music – most of the time I look for music I’ve never heard before.
I design products, logos and experiences that helps people get more out of their life and work.
Get in touch and let’s work together!
process
Each company or project demands a different process, but Design Thinking is the basis of my processes for developing design solutions. It involves 5 phases that feed into one another:
1. Empathize: understand the problem from the user’s point of view;
2. Define: identify problems and user needs;
3. Ideate: generation of design ideas to solve the problems;
4. Prototype: create mock-ups and, eventually, the final product;
5. Test: test designs with users to improve them.
