UX Designer at Capgemini

Mario Braga is an excellent UX Designer! At the time, we worked together on the development of the service marketplace app for Banco do Brasil. Mario played a crucial role in supporting the project's Product Owners in guiding and defining the MVP of the product. Both of us were involved in prototyping both applications for service seekers and providers, as well as creating the website and content. He was always very responsive to answering questions and providing support in understanding the project alongside the Business team. With more than 500 screens and countless hours of meetings, we successfully completed the project, of which I am very proud. Mario is a respectful and talented designer, but more than that, he is a great friend.
