Dandara \ Brag

An introduction

• I am a 24 years old Product Designer with 5 years of experience under my belt.
• Most of my professional experience was designing software for credit card machines. Unique? A little. Interesting? Hell yes. Pressuring to see your work every time you go out to buy something? Definetely! Get to know Stone
• All of my professional experiences thus far have been remote and I know great work can be done anywhere. I have juggled work with high school, technical school and now graduate school. If I know time management? I know time management.
• I am currently designing a Service Design framwork for Museums to assess their user experience. This is the finishing work of my Bachelor's in Graphic Design. Incoming link

I am also a human

We often get lost in the land of professionalism and get rid of all the wrong things. If I am going to spend a third of my day with you, I would like you to know the things I want to be remembered for:

• My biggest goal in life is to get a shade of yellow named after me and that's why you often see me under the guise of Amarelo (yellow) Dandara - you gotta start somewhere, ya know?
• My biggests contributions to humanity are in the areas of organization and spreadsheets. My most requested link so far is my Notion of 200+ best things to do in my city. Visit Belo Horizonte, Belo Rolê
• Thankfully, my podcast is already making a run for the #1 place in this ranking. Which is good 'cause writing, recording, producing, editing and designing it ain't easy. Listen to Ondas Amarelas
• I am determined to make my girlfriend, Jade, the most loved woman in the world. Anyone that gets in my way, is my swore enemy.

What energizes me at work?

• Being helpful as a designer without touching Figma. Let's draw the problem with a pen, let's hit the code, let's write a document. I believe in design as an archetype I fall in often, not a restrainment in my work. Incoming link
• Sharing. Giving a talk or writing a piece on work I am proud of. Assign me an audience and watch me flourish. Incoming link
• Turning something people want to do into something they can do. Enabling. Building tools. I have designed tools for selling, for managing finances, for triaging documents and there is nothing like making people's work easier to do.
• Turning something our team wants to see into something everyone in the company can see. Documentation. Building internal tools and documentations for systems that do what they are supposed to do.

What now?

If you want to get in touch to talk about what your team is up to and get to know my design better, the quickest way to reach me is sending an email to nicolydndr@gmail.com. The same goes for any peers that want to pick my brain, get inside my head and learn from me.

But if you read this and didn't really vibe with the idea, we have just saved ourselves from 40 minutes of pointless conversation and I really love that for your company.
