Industrial designer with over 20 years of experience. After I started my professional life as a designer in the late 90's, in the automotive industry, I opened the office Gene Design Ltd. to explore my talent and enthusiasm for various market segments, focusing on the creative process, technology and innovation. As responsible for these services in Design, around 150 clients have been served since 2003, from segments such as: transport; footwear; of the packaging; fashion; from the sports universe; of architecture; of metallurgy; of decoration; etc. Among the most notable works carried out as a designer, I highlight the authorship of the Fiat Idea and two of the biggest national design awards, with the Compact 3E Recycle Bin for recycling garbage by reusing supermarket bags. Being internationally recognized for serving US customers.

Today, trusting in the background acquired with this diversity, as well as always being passionate about design, I am open to employment contracts again.

"Discipline is the best bridge between a dream and its realization" is a slogan that I have always chosen to use. And commitment is the keyword that marks senior profiles like mine, which I can vouch for.

Education

Graduated Industrial Design - Product Design emphasys

UEMG - University of the State of Minas Gerais

1993 - 1998

Bachelor of Industrial Design - emphasis on Product Design for five years. 1993 - 1998. I highlight two notable innovative projects. The digital menu from 1995 that became later (in other hands), in the handheld tablets we know today. The Opera Project, which through a Scientific Initiation grant became in other hands, the FIAT Idea. This was the first academic project in Minas Gerais of a car that was represented in a real 1:1 scale, made by me and collaborators from the private sector, completed in 1999.
