Emerson Bragança

I design complex products from research through handoff, as the sole designer on cross-functional teams, in domains where understanding the rules comes before designing anything.

About Me

Behind the Work

Product and brand designer who runs the research, facilitates the strategy conversations, builds the system, and ships the product. Complex domains. Cross-functional teams. End-to-end.

Eight years working at the intersection of discovery and delivery: private aviation, financial services, healthcare, automotive diagnostics, utility-scale solar engineering, and AI services branding. I'm comfortable in regulated, compliance-aware, domain-heavy environments where a wrong design decision has real operational consequences.

Currently a senior product designer at The SilverLogic, working remotely from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. I write stories with acceptance criteria before opening Figma. I run field research. I build the design system, not just the screen. I work across web, native mobile, embedded widgets, and brand systems.
