Hi there! I'm
Marcos Rezende,
a Lead UX Designer
based in Ottawa, Canada.
I bridge the gap between business goals and human needs using my curiosity to discover valuable insights while creating extensively thought-out design experiences.
ABOUT ME
I'm Marcos Rezende, a results-oriented User Experience Designer with over 13 years of experience in digital projects (the last 6 have been in UX).
I've been spreading my enthusiasm for designing by sharing my industry expertise with students all over the world as a UX Mentor at CareerFoundry.
I have a solid background in leading cross-functional teams and designing web-based applications focused on data-driven decisions, seeing the big picture and keeping an eye on details.
You can learn how my milestones have brought me to where I'm now by reading my story.

SELECTED PROJECTS
Here's a sample of projects I have worked on.
UX CASE STUDY
Minha Vitória:

City dwellers contributed with suggestions to review and regulate the urban aspects of the city for the next ten years, helping to improve public service.
UX CASE STUDY

UX CASE STUDY
Shhh. . . It's a top secret!
I've been working on a confidential Canadian nationwide project. While I cannot publish it due to signing a non-disclosure agreement, the lessons I learned and my high-level overview are well worth sharing.
UX PROCESS
I think Agile and Design Thinking are an excellent problem-solving combination. In some cases, the Waterfall model could work superbly. It's about seeing what needs to be done. I am flexible enough to adapt the UX Process when the project calls for it.
On a daily basis, I also run remote design workshops so that potential solutions emerge from the collaborative sessions.
