HI, I'M GUSTAVO,
PRODUCT DESIGNER
PRODUCT DESIGNER
I’m based in Vancouver, designing digital products and brand systems, including work in telecom, community sport, and government services
Experience and Background
I'm a product designer with over five years of UX/UI and digital product work in Vancouver. I started my career in São Paulo, Brazil, and bring 20 years of experience in visual communication and branding.
I have designed for agencies, government, and direct clients, with a focus on user centred digital experiences that connect research, strategy, and strong visual design. Alongside product work, I collaborate on branding, motion, and visual communication to help teams keep their products on brand and ready to grow.
Through agency roles, in-house teams, and a national design contest selection, I have designed for organizations such as TELUS, Amazon IVS, Pfizer, Havaianas, and the São Paulo State Government.

Designing End to End
I design and deliver work across the full product journey. Working with stakeholders, I align around clear business goals and user needs, then shape flows and information architecture. From there I design and scale clear, on-brand interfaces, systems, and documentation so developers can build with confidence as the product grows.
With my background in branding and visual communication, I also create the identity and brand systems that support the product: visual language, image standards, and application guidelines. That provides a coherent foundation for the brand to expand across products, campaigns, and other touchpoints.

Collaboration and Impact
People I work with often describe me as organized, reliable, and detail-oriented. I combine a strong visual eye with user-centred thinking, raising the quality of the work with clear structure, thoughtful decisions, and careful refinement.
I’m known for being easy to collaborate with. I ask questions early, stay responsive, document decisions, and work closely with developers, project managers, and stakeholders to keep projects moving.
I also invest heavily in expanding my knowledge, continually learning new tools and processes so I can adapt to different teams and ways of working.

Beyond the Work
Outside of the screen, I like to stay active and spend time outdoors, hiking in BC and being around nature.
Indoors, I enjoy playing acoustic guitar and reading, especially biographies of rock musicians. I’m enthusiastic about coffee, always exploring new flavours and learning about origins and brewing methods.
I’ve explored different meditation practices and completed a Vipassana retreat, which shaped how I approach focus and consistency.
