André Lopes
Product Designer
Nine years across compliance-heavy fintech, complex B2B systems, SaaS, and everything in between taught me to write, solve problems, and to know which battles to pick. I design products that work in the hard cases.
I've shipped products that made money, scaled Design Systems for 27 platforms, survived rebrands mid-flight, and translated a doctorate thesis into software a non-academic could actually use.
I co-founded a design agency, won an entrepreneurship grant for a startup, and have worked across fintech, crypto, automotive, cybersecurity, retail, sustainability, and luxury.
Outside the screen: I'm a Star Wars fanatic and Lego collector (76 sets and counting), guitar and bass player, chess lover, japanese learner, 3 cats proud parent, and an IronMan in the making.
