Senior Product Designer · Team Lead
@ Netcracker Technology

I'm Felipe. I lead a team in Brazil and contribute as an IC to global products, moving between strategy, systems and execution depending on what the problem requires.

Over the last 15 years, I've worked across graphic design, web design, product design, design systems, and platform strategy. My work has supported products used across 9 countries and multiple global markets.

beyond the work

I'm from Realengo, Rio de Janeiro.
I grew up building things with whatever was available, which probably explains why I'm more interested in constraints than in ideal conditions.

Outside of screens, I'm a 2nd degree black belt in ITF Taekwondo.
Not because I wanted to fight, but because I needed to know I could keep going when things stopped being comfortable (but fighting is pretty cool). And I've been drawing since before I can remember. I got published at MSP Estúdios, the studio behind Turma da Mônica, Brazil's most enduring comics universe.

I also have a genuine obsession with dinosaurs. Can you imagine how something so complex, so dominant, left behind just enough evidence for us to piece together the whole picture? That's not so different from what we do with products, is it?
