Hello,
I'm Aline :)
I'm a UX/UI Designer based in Toronto, Canada, with a background in customer service, translation, and hand-lettering. Experienced in empathizing with customers and offering creative solutions for their needs. Detailed-oriented, excellent at working both collaboratively and independently, and skilled at creating visually appealing lettering designs. Yes, I love purple and gradients!
My Story
My experience in sales has taught me to listen to customers' needs and find creative solutions, while my translation experience made me detail-oriented, and my interest in visual design made me aware and critical about how aesthetics plays an important role in a product.
My diverse and international work experience made me adaptable to different and multicultural environment and challenges, identifying customers' pain points and creating experiences that are engaging and friendly for people from multiple backgrounds.
I was born in Brazil, and I moved with my husband to Canada in 2018. In 2021, we adopted a cavapoo puppy (Keeko) as our birthday gift (we were both born in October), and Keeko takes me for daily walks while I listen to audiobooks and podcasts. In my spare time, you can find me playing boardgames, drawing on my iPad, and escaping from reality by reading fiction novels.
I'm looking forward to applying these principles from my past work experience into product design, and collaborating with my team to create awesome products!
My Personality
According to the 16Personalities website, I am a INFJ-T, a Turbulent Advocate. It makes sense, because I am indeed prone to pay extra attention to other's needs, and live a balanced life. See my full profile here (including workplace habits).
Also, according to Plum's Talent Assessment, my top talents include embracing diversity, conflict resolution, and communication. See my full talent profile here (including work style).
"Nothing lights up Advocates like creating a solution that changes people’s lives."

Testimonials
"Aline was one of my top UX students since I became a mentor, earning lots of student highlights throughout the whole course. As her top qualities, I’d mention being welcoming to feedback — which is one of the most important UX soft skills — and a genuine desire to perfect her craft. It’s one of those students you don’t approve with a “but…” in the back of your mind. Tasks were always excellent!t’s also important to raise the fact she remains very dedicated even after the course, unlike many other students that wait passively for god knows what. I’d fully recommend Aline to any company looking for a promising Jr professional. She’s sure to become a great UXer in the near future : )"
