A. Rodrigues
Digital Product Designer
I'm a Product designer based in Lisbon, Portugal. I combine technical skill, visual acumen, product and systems thinking to build well-crafted product experiences. I currently work as a Product Designer at Mollie.
With a background in Communications and Critical Theory, I started my tech journey in customer care, where I learned about product experience first-hand from talking to customers. Since moving into the interaction design discipline, I've worked on many exciting projects, with a particular focus on e-commerce and fintech.
I enjoy building small, fun projects as a means to sharpen my technical skills and experiment with new interaction concepts and surfaces. I have also developed an interest in education, helping others understand the technologies that shape our lives.
Mollie offers an all-in-one payments and money management solution serving over 250,000 businesses in Europe.I joined as a Product Designer II for Merchant Experience - a domain resposible for product engagement, design system maintenance and governance, and core platform features. I'm responsible for the experience with notification and workflow services, user management and identity, developer tooling, as well as support experience with both AI and human agents.
Navro simplifies global payments for businesses by offering access to premier payment services worldwide through a single contract and API.I joined as the first in-house designer and transitioned the design function from a consultancy model to permanent staff, establishing the foundations, building the team, and influencing the organisation to adopt a user-centric design culture. By working in close collaboration with Product and Engineering leadership, I helped crafting a full payments suite that complies with regulatory requirements across various regions, contributing to the company's growth from pre-seed to securing their Series B investment round.
Swell is a customizable, API-first e-commerce platform. Its headless architecture offers businesses the flexibility to operate multiple storefronts across various tech stacks.I embraced a new challenge as a Product Manager, applying my e-commerce and product design expertise to develop a hosted storefronts solution featuring a no-code builder - a product aiming to unlock the full potential of the SMB customer segment for the business. I also contributed to increased conversions through the optimisation of the product onboarding. During my time at Swell, the company successfully moved from seed stage to closing their Series A round.
