    Customer success was my entry door, working hand in hand with ux design and tech slowly becoming more an more product oriented. I love to thrive bringing the best UX/UI to users and growing a business relying on product and customer satisfaction.

    I was in highschool designing logos for clients world-wide. I was pretty acceptable at design but I wanted to be better paid and saw opportunities in the programming world. I wanted to code my own apps and I didn't know how. 12 years later, I am in my 30s with plenty of coding experience but I am pretty stupid at marketing and business. I am now re-routing my mind and learning business and marketing while building my own products. Dream come true, I might say?

    Initiating a journey in product development can be a dynamic and exciting process. Here's my personal response to what initiated my journey in product development: Personal Passion I have always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and innovation. My passion for creating products that can make a positive impact on people's lives ignited my journey in product development. The opportunity to bring ideas to life and solve real-world problems through innovative solutions is what drives me every day. Market Needs Recognizing the ever-evolving market needs and the potential to fill gaps in the market also played a significant role in initiating my journey in product development. By identifying areas where existing products fall short or where new opportunities arise, I am motivated to develop products that can meet those needs and provide value to customers. User-Centric Approach Adopting a user-centric approach was another catalyst for my journey in product development. Understanding the user's journey, pain points, and desires allows me to create products that truly resonate with them. By empathizing with users and putting their needs at the forefront of the development process, I strive to create meaningful and impactful products. Collaboration with AI The potential of AI in product development has also been a driving force in my journey. Collaborating with AI technologies enables me to automate tasks, gain valuable insights, and enhance the overall product development process. By leveraging AI's capabilities, I can optimize efficiency, improve decision-making, and unlock new possibilities in product development. Continuous Learning and Improvement Lastly, the constant pursuit of learning and improvement has been a key factor in initiating and sustaining my journey in product development. Staying updated with the latest industry trends, technologies, and methodologies allows me to continuously evolve and deliver innovative products that meet the ever-changing demands of the market. In conclusion, my journey in product development was initiated by a combination of personal passion, market needs, a user-centric approach, collaboration with AI, and a commitment to continuous learning. By embracing these factors, I am driven to create products that make a meaningful impact and drive positive change in the world.

    Totally by chance! 😅 I had always had an obsession with building automated processes to improve ops in the teams I was part of, but my expertise was in Paid Media. After a pretty bad experience working for an agency I was pretty much open to anything and a startup building advertising technology needed deep understanding on advertising platforms and I got in straight as Product Director. They bet on me quite heavy, but it paid off. I found my vocation, as I fell in love with the day to day of finding solutions to problems, collaborating with dev, designing, etc., and we turned the product around in just about 2 years and got an exit 🥳 Life is full of surprises and opportunities if you're open to exploring new paths ✨

    I love to solve problem. And realised I love building stuff. That comes along well with product dev / micro-startup creation :)

    In conversations with my friends, I had the idea to develop a new product in response to the growing need for new technologies among my customers.

    A very specific problem without a solution I can buy - so I have to build it myself.

    My journey in product development was initiated when I took an internship at a tech startup during college, where I was inspired by the process of turning an idea into a tangible product, and I decided to pursue further education and a career in the field, focusing on innovation, user experience, and iterative design.

    My journey was initiated when I was working in one of the advertising agencies and realized how many things I could change if I could productize a service, and how many improvements I could bring for my clients as well. 💡 Right then and there, I realized that I should create something similar but sell it as a sophisticated product.

    Realized there was a gap in tools for remote collaboration. Built a simple solution for my own team, then figured others might need it too.
