Summary
Felipe Saldanha is a communication scholar-practitioner and front-end/UI designer with 13 years of experience crafting digital experiences and strategic communications for education, science and environmental causes. He combines a PhD in Communication Sciences and an MBA in Marketing with hands-on skills in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React, WordPress and design tools (Figma, Adobe Suite) to plan, produce and evaluate multi-channel campaigns and learning platforms. As a professor and long-time communications coordinator, he has led fundraising, project implementation and reporting — notably securing federal culture and research funds — while managing teams and external suppliers. His background in data analysis (SQL, Excel) and process tools (Trello, Notion, Monday) helps bridge academic research, journalism and product-focused UX work. Based in São Paulo, he’s equally comfortable teaching UX and branding as he is writing science outreach and building front-end prototypes, a mix that makes him adept at turning complex research into accessible digital narratives.
