Call me Elisa :)
Profile
I graduated as a graphic designer from ESPM in São Paulo and majored in Marketing at Insper. My professional journey has encompassed diverse experiences, including roles in publishing, advertising agencies, and pioneering work in Innovation and Digital Experience at Pfizer Brasil, where I managed projects and led agile workshops. I've also contributed to special projects at Natura, serving as a Scrum Master and agile facilitator. I believe that a well-crafted strategy and effective processes can pave the way for groundbreaking design solutions.
