Emerson Bragança

I design complex products from research through handoff, working alone across the full stack, in domains where understanding the rules comes before designing anything.

Projects

JetEye
Aviation B2B SaaS 2025–Present

JetEye

I was the only designer across six products at once. The challenge was building a design system from nothing while learning a heavily regulated domain well enough to make the right calls without a precedent to follow.

Case Study
Fintech Web + Native 2025–2026

Nector

A marketplace for financial services where compliance rules shaped what features could even exist. I designed those restrictions into the product structurally, not through warning labels, and ran web and native in parallel from the start.

Case Study
Solar Engineering B2B SaaS 2024

Solar Letters

Solar engineers had built their Excel workflows over years and had real ownership of them. My job was to design something they'd trust enough to actually switch. Not by adding features, but by making the new workflow feel familiar and faster.

Case Study
Healthcare 2024–25

Longeviti Health

A physician wanted to help other doctors launch concierge practices without months of manual setup. I designed five surfaces for two very different audiences (physicians configuring it and patients joining it) while the product scope was still taking shape.

Case Study
Brand Design 2024–25

BRDGIT

An internal AI-services division needed a brand built entirely from scratch. No existing identity, no name, no recognition to borrow from. I started with the name, worked through to the symbol, and produced every application surface.

Case Study
Automotive Field Research ZF AG 2024

ZF Diagnostic System

ZF wanted to enter the automotive diagnostics market. Before designing anything, I traveled to shops in three states and put a prototype in front of mechanics on-site. What they told us changed what we ended up building.

About Me

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

Five 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 lead 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.
