About me
Why I build what I design
I'm Victor, but everyone calls me Vk. I started in game design, and it still shapes how I work: I look for the moment a person hesitates and ask what would make the next step obvious.
I've worked in design for over six years, in product design since 2022. I designed apps, websites and enterprise software in education, construction and tech, led a team of four designers on 13+ products, created design systems from zero and then started building what I design. Today I work in Figma and in React, and I care that a developer can use my system without having to ask me what I meant. Earlier, I also localized Brazilian games into English and Spanish for Steam.
From 2025 to 2026 I designed and coded for licensed betting brands in Brazil: the design systems of three brands, platform screens, loyalty and gamification interfaces built from scratch, and an Email Builder for the marketing team's daily email production. I planned KPIs, studied user behavior to reduce churn, brought accessibility into every review and worked day to day with an international development team. Outside work I publish Cooldecode, a bilingual study blog about front-end, back-end and AI.
