Summary
Thais Avelino is a multidisciplinary Product Designer and UX researcher with a decade of experience blending front-end engineering, design systems, and user-centered research to build financial and social-impact products. Currently a CNPq Research Fellow working on sustainable development initiatives, she freelances for mission-driven startups and NGOs, translating complex problems into accessible digital experiences. Her background spans fintech at Stone—where she led credit card and loan product design and helped create scalable design systems—to edtech and AI/IoT projects as a senior front-end engineer and instructional designer. Fluent in five languages and trained in both computer science and sustainable development, she thrives in multicultural teams and bridges technical constraints with strategic, planet-centered design.
