Hey there. I'm Lena.



I'm a product designer from Brazil with over 13 years of experience designing for digital media.

I love solving problems — the more complex, the more gratifying! I've been chasing challenges my whole life which eventually led me to earn a double major in design and engineering. Design is what I love to do, but engineering gave me technical and logical skills I use every day.

I was born in Manaus, Brazil, a metropolis carved into the heart of the Amazon forest. It was there, amidst the exuberance of life, color and rhythms, that I began my career in graphic design and print. In 2012, I moved to London to pursue a Master's degree in Magazine Publishing at London College of Communication. At the time, I wanted to design magazines.

 

As the creative director of Sweet Spoon, a baking and lifestyle magazine, I was responsible for designing a digital application — my first ever.

The app that changed everything -

While diving deep into this new world and exploring the relationship between traditional and digital media for my dissertation, I discovered a new passion: user experience. I’ve been immersed in the digital industry ever since.
