At ManoMano, I effectively managed a team of five product designers, streamlining all back-office design for Sellers, Operations, and internal platforms. I contributed to design strategies, drove successful feature and project delivery on top of serving as the Product Designer as a core member and owner of the Sellers Design System, ensuring consistent and impactful design solutions.
