My Role

I am part of the Design System team at Hitachi Vantara, which means I can do what I love the most - help people and research about how we can improve their life. As an User Experience/User Interface designer, I’m constantly learning through everyday work and with my colleagues.

I am a Brazilian immigrant, I came to Portugal 4 years ago to study and when I finished my college degree, Hitachi Vantara welcomed me with arms wide open. The bright atmosphere, welcoming smiles, understanding, and caring people, and possibility to help others are all things that I love about Hitachi Vantara.

A Day in My Life

Since joining Hitachi Vantara, I can see I am able to do much more than just being an employee in a company. Here we can communicate with each other and connect with people all around the world. It has been an amazing experience so far. I could develop all kinds of skills daily - communication, organization, collaboration, empathy, leadership, self-confidence, and much more. We are like a community with a keen sense of unity and belonging. Every day is fun and challenging!
