Cortex Intelligence
Designer August 2013 - November 2015
Even before I finished my degree I've received an invite to start an internship at a Business Intelligence company based Brazil, that had a development center in my town. After a year as intern I’ve started to work as UI/UX Designer, where I learned a lot about the company and the business intelligence field. Because I worked side-by-side with developers I started to understand a little more about how a web platform is constructed and how it can behave, getting in touch with new technologies and programming languages I’ve never heard of. It's been a great journey and I've learned a lot since I've started my life as a designer.
I was responsible for:
- Design and develop web pages and mobile apps (for websites and analytic platforms);
- Wireframe and prototype new product releases;
- Creating audiovisual corporate content and video guide tutorials;
- Visual design for new products;
- Work closely to the development team;
