Shaping the future of the workplace with user-driven integration of Viva Connections and Copilot AI.
I'm Marcos Rezende, a Senior UX Designer with over 15 years of hands-on experience in User Experience, Product Analytics and Strategic Thinking.
My journey into UX design ↗ began at the tender age of 12, when I found myself reporting bugs in the MS-DOS operating system to programmers during my first part-time job. This early experience ignited a passion for technology and design. By 16, as a self-taught, I had already created my first website. That's how I discovered this was a craft, and I decided to pursue it.
Since then, I have had the privilege of collaborating with teams from various countries and across a wide range of sectors, including SaaS, PaaS, and DSaaS. Throughout my career, I have worn many hats; all these experiences reflect my ability to solve problems creatively and innovate under constraints. My work isn't just about creating interfaces; it's about weaving connections and experiences that matter.
To bridge my professional experiences with my personal life, I find inspiration in cosmopolitan environments, appreciate Cubist art, and fuel my days with a double espresso. Outside of work, you can find me devising fun tricks with my children, engaging in social project, or simply turning thoughts into insights.
