Hi, I’m Gabi. Design is my excuse to stay curious: about people, how they live, and what would make things work better for them.

Born in Germany, raised in Brazil, now in Florence.

I started by designing experiences for people in real places: schools, shopping centres, hospitals and restaurants. Then I moved into tech at Fraunhofer, with clients like Volkswagen and Bayer, then health tech and medical devices at Empatica, and now fintech at Qomodo, where I lead UX. Almost always in places where getting it wrong has a cost. I care about the whole arc, from the first “what if” to the moment it’s live, and about the operations behind the interface.

I explore in code as much as in Figma, lately more in code, and what ships is the source of truth. Lately I spend a lot of time building AI tools that make that work faster. Outside work: ceramics, mate, and a house renovation that never ends.
