Leonardo Botelho • Senior UX/UI & Product Designer

Hello, World!

Hello! My name is Leonardo Botelho, but you can call me Leo. I'm a passionate designer who loves solving complex problems through simple and effective experiences. I graduated in Advertising, I have an MBA in Marketing, but it was through user experience work that I found my professional calling.

I was born in Salvador, Brazil, and spent a significant part of my life there. Around the age of 10, I became interested in design indirectly through the blogging boom. Being self-taught, I learned to work with Fireworks and Photoshop, creating my first blog templates. By the age of 13, I was proficient in HTML and CSS, developing my first blog/website using FrontPage. At 19, I decided to pursue my childhood dream and moved to Rio de Janeiro to study Advertising and Marketing at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Throughout my journey, I specialized in UX/UI Design, Product Design, Visual Design, and Graphic Design. With over 15 years of experience in creation and design, I have dedicated the past 7 years to focusing professionally on the field of user experience. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work in various industry sectors, designing applications, websites, landing pages, and platforms. This diverse background allows me to work across different industries and applications effectively.
