Born and raised in 🇳🇱 The Netherlands in a 🇧🇷 Brazilian, 🇮🇹 Italian & 🇯🇵 Japanese family, I discovered my love for design whilst studying Electronic Engineering with Music Technology Systems at the University of York, and began my career as an Interaction Designer at YouView TVin London.
Since then, I have worked at wellbeing & life insurance start-up YuLife and at leading European radio broadcaster Bauer Media Audio. Currently, I'm working as an Interaction Designer in Google Search.
As a passionate 🎸musician and 🎧 audiophile, I'm also a guitarist in a Funk & Soul function band and also work freelance as an Audio UX Designer and Music Composer for games and digital products
“Marco led design on multiple projects during his stint with the Android Security and Privacy UX team. I have been consistently impressed by his eye for details and his commitment in delivering delightful user experiences in a highly regulated and technical space like digital Security.
From rationalizing a design system to tackling complex challenges in the digital security space, Marco always brought projects to great outcomes and further alignment across product functions.
Beside delivering high quality work, Marco has been a bliss for anyone working with him, both UXers and xfn stakeholders. Any UX team will be lucky to have him onboard..”
“Marco supported my UX team at Google over multiple quarters and I can recommend him to future employers as a dedicated and creative designer.
Marco is great at taking direction and navigating organisational complexities to deliver high-quality work at a fast pace. He is an intelligent and thoughtful individual who operated with autonomy and proactivity during his time on our team.
Marco successfully drove progress on several of our team's top-priority projects, and consistently showed up with a great attitude and level of engagement. He is comfortable in working within complex design systems while at the same time demonstrates an awareness of when to extend and push the boundaries of what's currently feasible.”
“Marco was an amazing UX partner and Product accelerator. When we worked together he always would find the right questions to ask so he knew what to design, and at the same time these questions greatly influenced my product plans. Together we came up with ideas that he then made come to life and we would then show to others to get them on board.
I view Marco as a partner and co lead of the project not just the UX lead for it at the time. I was lucky to work together on this project and I look forward to a future TBD project in the future to partner on. Until this time whoever gets to work with him is lucky and I have no doubt they will realize the force multiplier he is."
