I design in pixels and ship in code. Strategy, design and engineering, in one loop.
Things I build.
Projects I design and ship end to end, from the first sketch to the code that runs them.
IY Lotus
My design system. Tokens in four layers, from root to bloom, light and dark themes checked for WCAG contrast, and React components documented in Storybook.
Built with Lotus
The first product made with IY Lotus. Next.js and React, a WebGL intro that runs at 60 fps, English and Portuguese, light and dark.
Motion in code
A Claude Code skill that turns one sentence, a design system and a music track into a motion video, with every cut on the beat.
Skills for designers
A growing library of Claude Code skills that help designers ship better UI with AI. The first one makes motion videos; accessibility review and token checks are next.
AI pills
Short guides for designers on prompts, agents and AI-made motion, in Portuguese and English.
Where I worked.
Product design for banking and retail, and an engineering background that started it all.

Design Engineer.
Ten years of professional experience, the last five in digital product. My foundation is end-to-end product design: discovery, research, flows, prototyping, usability testing, design systems and metrics. AI sits on top of that foundation, not in place of it.
I don’t just use AI tools: I build the ones my team uses. Reusable skills, playbooks and prompts that turn good practice into capabilities the whole squad can reuse, always with a human in the loop.
That is what I call design2code: working prototypes and specs engineering uses directly. My engineering background holds this up, with systems thinking and comfort with real constraints. I work in the space where design and engineering happen at the same time.
