About me

I'm Veronica, a product designer based in Rio de Janeiro, a city that makes it very hard to stay indoors staring at a screen. ✌️
I like to think my journey as a designer started when I was a kid, when I discovered Dreamweaver and spent hours building pages for my favorite characters. Somewhere along the way that became a career, and almost 10 years in, the same core challenge follows me: take something complex and make it clear and usable for real people.
When I'm not designing, I like to take swimming lessons in the ocean, lie on the beach, rehearse for Carnival at an escola de samba, and plan my next trip around the world.
Experience
Fjord, part of Accenture - Rio de Janeiro, RJ
2026 - Present
Directv
Acting as design tech lead on the redesign of MiDIRECTV's main app screens, with a focus on improving the self-service experience and reducing support call volume. Responsible for design decisions, redesigning the visual language of the app, building a new component library from scratch, integrating a new chatbot into the app, and leading design reviews and providing structured feedback to a junior and a mid-level designer.
2025
MTA - Metropolitan Transportation Authority
Redesigned an AI-powered employee learning portal, simplifying complex flows to make the product usable for non-technical users. Created the visual identity for the portal and built a component library to support it. Worked within a fully international team.
2024 - 2025
Volkswagen
Acted as design tech lead, with full ownership of design decisions, direct contact with client stakeholders, and the deepest understanding of the app on the team. Conducted and participated in usability research that shaped the redesign direction. Redesigned multiple screens and flows across the app, including home, service scheduling, and main navigation. The homepage redesign, the most significant deliverable, turned a generic screen into a vehicle-status dashboard based directly on user research findings. Built a component library from scratch that became the single shared foundation for the design team. Created an Experience Map in Figma covering every screen and flow in the app, adopted as a shared reference by client, developers, PMs, and designers. Mentored and reviewed work of junior and mid-level designers across the full project lifecycle.
2023

2019 – 2020
SMILES GOL
Responsive redesign of one of Brazil's biggest travel platforms. The portal was visually outdated, the homepage cluttered, and key features hard to find. Modernized the interface, translated the new brand guidelines into digital, and reorganized the product structure. The component library I helped build has become the foundation for the platform's design system, still used today.
