Hello. Nice to meet you.
Hi. I’m Paulo.
I am a Japanese Brazilian graphic designer.
I believe every single person that helps making our daily lives easier deserves respect and empathy.
After translating my skills and 20 years of expertise to the UX industry - certified by Google, I'm now able to re-frame my natural curiosity in a more meaningful professional perspective.
The digital design industry is one of the most exciting places in the world, and it is an honor for me being part of it. So, I see every project as an opportunity to learn, connect and raise the bar.
I mean, isn't 'design thinking' just a new label for what we - trained designers - have always been doing?
