Hi, I’m Marcelo, a lead product designer

Currently: Meta • Remote, UK

Specialised in building and shipping engaging products and features. I love solving complex problems while keeping the user at the core of everything I do. More about me

More recently I've been leading the design systems work for the Shops experience in the Instagram and Facebook apps at Meta where I also work on the Storefront team.

Prior to that, I led design systems at Trainline and built Depot, a cross-platform (web, iOS, Android) design system from the ground up. Previously in charge of the Web booking flow.

I love solving complex problems, building and improving products throughout their lifecycle: setting the vision, strategic goals, as well as the nitty-gritty of UX, product thinking, visual and interaction design.

I believe usability goes hand in hand with design. Form follows function. There is no point in having a beautiful interface if your product isn't solving a real user need.

I am also hugely passionate about people, teams, processes and DesignOps. I have experience mentoring team members on big projects as well as setting up process that increase the efficiency of design.

Outside of work, I love tinkering with IoT, building my own smart devices, playing and recording rock guitars, the occasional DIY project, Nintendo games, food, coffee, travelling, and being a loving dad to my little ones.
