Danilo Borges

I'm a product designer.
I work where design, technology and business strategy meet, setting direction, building teams and tying design decisions to results that show up in OKRs. 17 years building products that reached tens of millions of people and transformed entire operations.

About

I have a degree in Systems Analysis and Development, and it changes how I design: I understand the technical cost of each decision before it turns into an engineering problem.

I have worked across fintech, telecom, healthcare and retail, always at scale. I designed conversational channels that reached 24 million people and contributed to ESG initiatives that trained thousands of women.

I have been working with AI applied to product since 2017, when systems that recognize emotion and human behavior were still niche research. Today I lead design teams, use data to back hard decisions and carry strategy all the way to execution.
