2023 - 2025

AssemblyAI

Brand, Motion, Product

Since 2023, I’ve been the Design Lead—the first and only full-time designer—at AssemblyAI, where I’ve led every design initiative from brand to product. Over the past two years, I’ve helped shape the company’s visual identity and product experience into what it is today.

 

I’ve overseen the design direction for major product launches and complete redesigns. In 2025 alone, I led a full website overhaul featuring a new illustration system (in collaboration with designer André Cândido), a refreshed blog experience, and our first comprehensive product dashboard and playground redesign. I’ve also had the opportunity to direct launch videos from concept through execution, bringing each story to life visually and strategically.
