Hello, I'm Maycon Santos

20+ YEARS LEADING AND PRACTINING PRODUCT DESIGN

ABOUT

From a family of software developers, I chose to focus on design.

With over 20 years of experience, I operate across the full digital product lifecycle, driving outcomes that balance user needs, technical feasibility, and long-term business value.

I have partnered with executive stakeholders and cross-functional teams in both high-growth startups and large global organizations, contributing to products and platforms for brands such as Samsung, Nokia, HP, Michelin, and LG.

Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, enabling collaboration across the core linguistic markets of the Americas and beyond.

IN THEIR WORDS

"I had the pleasure of working with Maycon on the UI/UX for UNPRESS, and I highly recommend him. He has a sharp eye for clean, modern visual design and a strong instinct for user-centered layout and flow. His ability to take feedback—not just accept it, but actively improve on it with thoughtful iteration—sets him apart."

"Maycon fosters a great collaborative environment by sharing designs in real-time, enabling efficient asynchronous communication. He doesn't hold onto information until it's 'perfect'; instead, he involves the team early. This transparency prevents bottlenecks and ensures technical feasibility from day one."

"He is genuinely concerned with validating his designs through real user feedback and data. Maycon doesn't just design in a vacuum; he actively collaborates with researchers to test hypotheses. His commitment to evidence-based design ensures that the final interface isn't just beautiful, but proven to work for the people using it."

"Communicative professional with high technical, theoretical and practical knowledge in his area of expertise. He always presents himself as a reference for innovative ideas and yet does not fail to present himself as a great listener when necessary. He has excellent capacity for technical argumentation in development projects involving CSS, HTML and JS, always supporting his propositions."
