Aluísio Brito Pinheiro

Product Designer - UX/UI

About me

I am graduate journalist and a designer by profession. It was through design and photography that I developed my career. In addition to be an entrepreneur, in 2013 I moved into the tech field, through web design. Working since 2019 as UX and UI professional, today my focus is on understanding needs and generating solutions for clients, products and services and to lead design teams to achieve their goals. Empathy is fundamental in life and work, so it is only fair to bring this perspective to add value and seek new paths to the world in which we live in. I recently obtained my MBA in Leadership, Management and Productivity to continue evolving along the path I chose.
