I’m Ester,

nice to meet you ☺︎

I am the youngest of four siblings from a modest family in a countryside city in Brazil. As we didn’t have much, my brain was often buzzing to craft and create different things to distract myself. That turned me into restless, curious kid at heart.

My first experience with design was at the age of 16, and I had the fortune to discover my lifelong passion early on. At that time, I didn’t know many things, but this opportunity ignited a fire of ambition for a more prosperous future than I had ever imagined.

Since then, I have navigated through various roles in the design field, spanning brand design, visual design, UX and product design, working with software houses, delivery apps, consulting, and the financial market.

Beyond work, I find joy in traveling, learning new things, or simply spending time with my fiancé and our dogs. In my free time, you’ll often find me doing some art stuff – I enjoy singing, drawing, painting, and poorly playing instruments – or watching soccer (chances are you’ll hear me passionately discussing my favorite team, Flamengo).

In 8 years of career, I’ve been lucky to work on different amazing teams. There are some of them.
