E-mail | LinkedIn | Instagram | CV | Status: Product Designer @ Tenzo
I'm a Product Designer with 5 years of experience. I’m all about crafting designs that not only look amazing, but also are a pleasure to use.
I love getting to know my audience and understanding what they want, what their struggles are and what we can do to improve that. Research and problem-solving are a big part of why I love Product Design, crafting experiences that only are out of the box but doing so while keeping an experimentation and curious mindset.

Hobbies and Interests
<aside> <img src="/icons/geography_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/geography_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> I love traveling and getting to know new places, learning about cultures, and diving deep into what it’s like to live like a local wherever I go. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and really want to learn Italian and Arabic.

So, expect this section to change every now and then.
Currently, in my free time, I am doing one or some of the following: Eating Japanese food, Listening to all of Huberman Lab Podcast episodes, and Learning everything I can about F1. Some things that never change are my love for TV series, roller skating, and swimming, so we can always talk about that.

What people say about me:
I have witnessed tremendous growth in Micaela over the course of her employment at cord and I am certain that the skills and abilities she has developed will allow her to excel in any UI/UX Designer role. Micaela has been with cord for just over a year and during that period she worked on a variety of design projects from small to large and across the entire product. Amongst the many projects she worked on, Micaela also owned the research, design, and evaluation of cord Insights and the cord Salary tool, making sure every user requirement is covered and accounted for in the design cycle and build. Those tools give our users the insights and resources they need to find their best work and Micaela made that possible with her passion and dedication. Apart from being a great designer, Micaela has also been a fantastic collaborator that everyone loved working with. She always looked for ways to push the boundaries of how we can make cord a better product for our users. Micaela’s attention to detail, open-mindedness, and general UI creativity made a huge impact on cord as a whole. Katerina Pieri, Head of UI/UX at Cord
