Hello there,
My name is Caio, and I am a mix of a designer & an engineer.
I currently work as a Product Designer at Neogrid.
Before this, I've worked with product, design, and innovation at Coderhouse, Ayrton Senna Institute, Crehana, and SEBRAE adding 6 years of professional experience.
My projects
Testing and improving an educational application
Ayrton Senna Institute
User research
Prototyping
User testing
The objective of the project was to conduct research and carry out a pilot application of psychometric instrument with students (8 to 12 years old). This initiative is part of the continuous discovery of the Farol Platform (an educational testing platform) and was undertaken to understand the context and reality of applications in various schools, gather insights, identify challenges, and document best practices for the subsequent application of the same instrument nationwide.
Using Figma to create a functional game

Figma
Game Design
In 2021, I was interested in game design - a curiosity revolving around how games were created and what design decisions were behind them. I decided to participate in my first game jam (a competition to create a new game from scratch in a few days), and along with my team members, we secured the 1st place in the category of "Game that best encompasses the theme of the game jam."
Access project
A new way to explore the "500 Greatest Albums"
Rolling Stone's Magazine
User research
Prototyping
Data analysis
The current state of the Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time does not allow for a deep exploration of the data, its correlations, or comparisons between editions. This project proposes a table visualization approach with filtering and sorting features to assist users in easily navigating the list of 500 albums, identifying information about their favorite artists, musical genres, and countries of origin. - It's a personal project, and Rolling Stone is not involved.
