Why me?

I make research usable.

If people can't navigate your research, it doesn't help decisions. I organize everything so anyone can understand what's happening and why.

She has an incredible eye for detail. Her organized approach, combined with her ability to rapidly learn new technologies, allows her to quickly adapt to requirement changes. Any team would be lucky to have Michelle's thoughtful work and positive energy.

No confusion after the meeting.

I present complex work in a way that people leave aligned. Not just informed.

You have one of the best presentation styles on the team — so humble, so well detailed, well thought out, and so you. Very Well Done!

35 people. One direction.

Design Sprints, Silent Critiques, cross-functional workshops — run across Brazil and the US with mixed teams and one non-negotiable: leave with a decision, not just a discussion.

I write to
clarify thinking.

Writing is how I structure ideas. What you read is the same way I work. Published on UX Collective and Bootcamp.

Michelle's outstanding communication skills make collaboration easy
and create a sense of proximity with the team and stakeholders.

something others can use.

Through mentoring, masterclasses on YouTube, and writing on UX Collective and Bootcamp.

I've taken courses, but I never felt prepared when it came to UX.
The key difference is your communication. I can understand the content you share without theoretical difficulty.
I appreciate how you conduct sessions using FigJam, paying attention to my short, medium, and long-term goals.
