OutSystems·Oct 2020 - today
Product Designer
I am a Product Designer focused on Mobile end-user and developer experience. At OutSystems I’m responsible for applying our iterative design process to come up with usable, frictionless, design solutions for all our assets connected to the low-code development of mobile apps — including mobile plugins, sample apps, and the continuous improvement of our IDE (integrated development environment). As a Product Designer I’m also a key communicator between the Experience and the Development team, being responsible for providing comprehensive design solutions that can vary from reports, to low or high-fidelity mock-ups, prototypes, and Figma design files. As of 2023 I’ve take on the role of team lead for the Mobile Experience team at OutSystems.
