About Me

In my most recent position as Design Manager at LogRock, a US-based startup, I established and shaped the fundamental principles of the platform and successfully solved complex issues related to safety, compliance, and insurance for trucking companies resulting in a successful product launch.

As the Head of Design at Zenklub, a health tech startup, I built a remote design team and streamlined its processes by molding the design operations. Our team designed an exclusive B2B platform, which set the company apart from competitors.
Before that, I was UX Manager at Senior, a big tech company in Brazil, where I aided them in building and launching a unified platform that blends multiple products and helped scale the design team and UX culture. We created the company's first organized design operations and design system.

A lot of stuff happened in the middle: I owned a design studio, opened an ISP, worked for years for agencies in the UK and Brazil, and all that jazz everyone goes about these days. That's the pitch! ツ

Don't just take my words

Felippe is a talented design leader and a great design manager. In particular he is strong at bringing out the best in and empowering designers. Felippe built our entire design profile from scratch and was able to absorb the needs of a complex and very nitty-gritty product. Strongly recommend him, in particular for complex B2B projects and to lead growing design teams.

Hunter Yaw
CEO & Co-founder @ LogRock Inc.

Felippe is an outstanding product designer and an inspiring leader. He is a guy that thinks outside the box, likes to critic old assumptions and always defends the customer/user. This behavior has saved us many times from making wrong decisions. De Pin is also hard working and a committed professional. I would definitely work with him again.

Joao Bosco
COO & Co-founder @ LogRock Inc.

Felippe is a thoughtful and skilled designer. I worked with Felippe on many complex and difficult challenges and really appreciated his detailed and well thought-out approach. Collaborating with him was enjoyable and always raised the level of my work. Highly recommend!

During my time managing Felippe, he displayed a continuous willingness to learn, share knowledge, and exhibit proactivity. His consistent delivery of high-quality work at GOVBR demonstrated his genuine concern for the customer and their needs and expectations, with a focus on providing exceptional value.

Ivan Filagrana
Head of Engineer at GOVBR

I've worked with Felippe at Senior Sistemas. He was our Design Manager and he's amazing at managing the team both in terms of design and career development. I learned so much from him. What impressed me most about Felippe were his extensive design knowledge, ability to manage people as individuals and passion for making a difference in the company through design.

Juarez Mendes Junior
Senior Product Designer at Loadsmart

I learned a lot with him about being patient and knowing how to deal with conflicts. He is an inspiration and an example for me of what a Design Manager should be. More than numbers, he looked at his team as persons and knew how to deal with problems and celebrate the accomplished goals.

Débora Martins
Senior UX Designer at DEARhealth

Beyond his technical skills, De Pin is also an excellent team player, leader and professional. He has a strong work ethic, and is always willing to lend a hand to his colleagues. He has a great attitude and a problem-solving mindset. I am grateful for the opportunity to work closely with him as I learned a great deal, and I will be lucky if I ever have the opportunity of working with him again.
