Hello! I’m Hanna,

a Brazilian-American Product Designer who has been based in France for the past 3.5+ years. Prior to this, I lived in the US, Brazil, Spain and spent over a year traveling solo in the Americas, Asia, and Europe.

My entry into design was a little like the design process itself - iterative. I started out with a degree in psychology, discovered the world of research, pivoted into project management while testing out advertising, and synthesized all my learnings about people, agility, and creativity into a career I am truly passionate about - product design. This transition felt like a natural evolution, grounded in the diverse skill set I've cultivated along the way.

Given my background, my approach to challenges is holistic. I've always been driven by questions like “why?” and “how can we approach this differently?”.  For me, curiosity, empathy, flexibility, and tenacity the cornerstones of design thinking. My design approach merges empathy with strategy, resulting in user experiences that not only resonate with users but also drive business impact.

Beyond design, I enjoy exploring new recipes, discovering new places, and trying to master the nuances of the French language. I'm constantly learning about the world through the human narratives woven into music, podcasts, and films.

Let's connect and create meaningful experiences together!

Here’s what colleagues and clients have said:
