i am Gabriel Avila Oliveira, born & raised in the south of Brazil.
i am a Product Designer with 5+ years of experience designing complex digital products from early research through prototype.
i’ve worked on projects across user research, product strategy, interaction design, UI design, prototyping, usability testing & developer collaboration.
with a foundation in Business Administration & 2 master’s degrees, I bring a broader perspective to product decisions—connecting user needs with business goals, stakeholder requirements, technical constraints, and product strategy.
i am most comfortable working across multidisciplinary teams, partnering with stakeholders, engineers, and product teams to turn ambiguity & complex requirements into clear product direction. My experience working close to functional development has also strengthened my understanding of how design decisions translate into implementation.
that combination of product thinking, business perspective, systems thinking & cross-functional collaboration shapes how I approach complex problems and move products from concept toward delivery.
