Hi! I’m Vaniele, a 26 years old UI/UX designer based in São Paulo, Brazil.
My professional journey has been full of twists and turns. I started my career as an administrative intern at a bank when I was just 15, and although I spent years working in administrative and commercial roles, I always felt like something was missing. In 2021, everything changed when I discovered UI Design—and I instantly knew I had found my passion.
In 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to live in the Netherlands, where I worked for a Swedish startup. There, I worked on restructuring websites, managing social media, and contributing to UI design projects, while also dabbling in marketing tasks. This experience not only helped me grow professionally but also gave me a taste of working in an international environment.
In 2023, I decided to come back to Brazil to pursue a degree in Graphic Design and reconnect with home. Since then, I’ve worked at Gabriella Calçados, creating social media content, designing banners and presentations, and working on various communication materials.
Currently, I’m a UI/UX Designer at Nova Futura Investimentos, where I’ve had the incredible challenge of designing an app from scratch as the only designer on the team. It’s been a rewarding experience that has pushed me to grow and refine my skills, especially as a junior designer.
I’m super passionate about what I do, and my go-to tools like Figma I’m always exploring new ways to improve and learn more in this constantly evolving field. 😊👋
