I help businesses create premium websites that build trust, strengthen their brand, and turn visitors into customers. With 15+ years of experience in UX/UI design and web development, I combine strategy, user experience, premium design, and technical expertise to create websites that not only look exceptional but also support marketing, sales, and long-term business growth. Beyond design and development, I also help businesses make better digital decisions. I provide UX/UI consulting, website strategy, information architecture, and user journey planning to ensure every website is built around clear business goals before development begins. From UX strategy and custom Figma design to web development, optimization, and ongoing support, I manage the entire process from concept to launch. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏆 15+ Years of Professional Experience 🏆 350+ Websites Designed & Delivered 🏆 80+ Five-Star Upwork Projects 🏆 Top Rated Plus Freelancer 🏆 Long-Term Collaborations with Returning Clients ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Services** • UX/UI Strategy & Consulting • Website Planning & Information Architecture • User Journey Mapping & Conversion Optimization • UX/UI Audits & Expert Reviews • Premium UI/UX Design • Custom Website Design in Figma • Custom Graphics & Visual Assets • Website Animations & Micro-Interactions • WordPress Website Design & Development • Elementor & Elementor Pro • WooCommerce • Website Redesigns • Landing Pages & Sales Pages • Responsive Development • Performance & Speed Optimization • SEO-Friendly Website Structure • WordPress Setup & Migration • Website Maintenance • Troubleshooting & Bug Fixing ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I don't just design websites—I help businesses build better digital experiences.

My journey in the audiovisual market began at age 15, photographing events and friends' bands to build a portfolio and gain experience. Since then, I have dedicated myself to translating stories and emotions into images, with roles ranging from still photography to directing photography for music videos and audiovisual projects. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most renowned concert venues in Rio de Janeiro. In 2023, I reached an important milestone in my career by joining the largest communication company in Latin America, where I began working in the sports area of ​​Grupo Globo, working in studio lighting and audio, while continuing to work in the market as a photographer.
