Hey I’m Barbs 👋

🦄 I'm a product and brand designer based in Florianópolis, Brazil

And I'm building my career around surf.

With over 12 years of experience, I've worked with companies like Yuna, Digistorm, and Bornlogic.

🐾 I started in UI design, landing pages, apps, web-based systems.

When I moved to Australia, where I lived for five years, I took on large-scale branding and digital product work in the education and sports industries.

Most recently, I spent 16 months at Yuna, a startup that creates personalized stories for kids using AI.

Where I partnered on product strategy and designed experiences parents describe as "magical."

🏄🏽‍♀️ Now I'm channeling that energy into surf… An industry I'm already building in with my own projects.

I'm looking to collaborate with brands and people who care about community, creativity, and doing things differently.

I hold a Bachelor's in Graphic Design and an MBA in Project Management.

I've been really into AI, product and interaction design, surf culture, content creation and figuring out how to build things with AI and code.

Even though I'm a designer, not a developer.

I play musical instruments, make things with my hands, and I enjoy learning and sharing about topics like permaculture, natural building, sound healing, and Nonviolent Communication.

💜 Especially if you're working on something in surf or projects addressing climate change, women's rights, or ocean conservation, I'd love to connect.
