Emerson Bragança
Senior Product Designer (UX/UI) · Brand Designer
Product and brand designer with over eight years of experience working end-to-end across digital products, from discovery and field research to high-fidelity UI, design systems, and developer handoff. I've led design solo on platforms spanning private aviation, financial services, automotive diagnostics, healthcare, engineering certification, and AI services branding, often as the sole designer on projects where the domain is unfamiliar and the surface is broad. I run field research, facilitate product strategy conversations with founders, and design for the full lifecycle of an artifact, not just the happy path.
