Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a Lead Product & Experience Designer with a BSc in Interaction Design and eight years of experience designing user-centred digital products and services. I care about translating complex problems into simple, meaningful experiences that support both business outcomes and real human needs.

I’m South African and Portuguese, and now based in Amsterdam after a decade studying and working in Los Angeles. Working across different cultures and contexts has shaped how I lead: with clarity, empathy, and curiosity. I build environments where teams understand the problem, communicate openly, and feel confident bringing their expertise to the table. I ask thoughtful questions, listen closely, and advocate for both users and stakeholders.

This balanced, collaborative approach has supported the delivery of impactful, award-winning work across B2B, B2B2C, eCommerce, and SaaS products in industries including professional skincare, HR and talent intelligence, travel and hospitality technology, and regulatory compliance.
