I’m a Brazilian EN<>PT translator diving head-first into the world of User Experience.



Brought up between books, I'm now a 27-year-old living in São Paulo, Brazil. I began my career working with Legal English both at InternetLab - an influential think-tank on law and technology - and Mattos Filho - one of Latin America's leading law firms. But let's say I never intended to become a lawyer.


Heading back to my core interests, I began shifting toward User Experience. First, as a UX writer, applying the critical thinking, editorial and copy skills I've developed and matured over these years. Then, as a UX designer, learning new abilities and focusing on creating full solutions.

Remote work will spread as much as the new coronavirus

As most of the world is faced with its fourth or fifth month of self-quarantine, it’s safe to say that if you live in any densely populated area, your life has completely changed. Hopefully not for the complete worse, but I think most of us have already been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in some way — no sign of the virus in our household, but the pay-cuts have arrived. Now, home-office is a reality as true as the fact that staying in saves lives, so in a country with the potential of a mass

Our House Became a Design Studio During the Pandemic

Wireframe. Artboard. Design system. These are words that until less than a year ago had never been a part of my vocabulary and now, here I am, placing wireframes onto artboards and creating style guides. Quite the leap for someone who just always said “I can’t draw” and thought Design was all about being good at pen and paper. You may have read my previous text “Migrating From Translation to UX Writing”, but if you haven’t: up until three months ago, I was studying UX Writing as part of a plan

Migrating From Translation to UX Writing

As a slightly unsure 17-year-old with good writing skills, it seemed only obvious to pursue a career that valued this asset. Growing up the daughter of a journalist and a social scientist, well, I decided to become both. After six months of intense weekdays, going from one college to the other, I decided to quit journalism — after all, why continue on a private course costing thousands of reais for a diploma that is not even necessary in Brazil? I continued trying to find my place within Anthrop

Quem defende seus dados no Brasil? Segundo relatório anual mostra melhora na privacidade das telecomunicações

Hoje, o InternetLab, um dos principais centros de pesquisa independente em políticas de Internet no Brasil, lançou seu relatório de 2017 sobre companhias de telecomunicação locais e como elas lidam com as informações privadas de seus clientes. “Quem defende seus dados?” procura encorajar as companhias a competir pelos usuários por mostrar quem se compromete a proteger a privacidade e os dados de seus clientes. É por isso que o InternetLab avaliou as políticas das mais importantes empresas de tel
