Hi, I'm Matt.
I'm a Brazilian born, American raised minimalist design enthusiast with a passion for user centered solutions. Currently, I'm working as a Staff Interaction Designer at Google.
By using human centered design principles, I innovatively strategize, conceptualize, and deliver engaging customer experiences through a product’s life cycle.
Experienced in leading, fostering and influencing cross functional, product areas and company stakeholders; quickly grasping and distilling highly ambiguous problems into simple and clear solutions.
I am passionate about always surpassing users expectations, delivering flawless collaboration and execution, and constantly elevating product excellence.
