Summary
Amilcar Teixeira is a Product Designer Specialist based in Rio de Janeiro with eight years of focused experience building scalable, accessible enterprise experiences across logistics, education, healthcare, and hospitality. At TOTVS he leads the open-source Animalia Design System that now supports over 200 products, blending hands-on component design with governance and adoption strategies to scale design maturity organization-wide. He bridges product, engineering, and design teams to deliver WCAG-compliant UI patterns, UX audits, and research-driven improvements while mentoring designers in technical and operational best practices. Trained across behavior design, UX research, and design systems, he’s as comfortable shipping pixel-level components as he is designing the invisible logic that connects micro-interactions to system-wide consistency. An advocate for design culture, he focuses on practical frameworks that empower autonomous teams and drive measurable product impact.
