Hi there! I'm
Marcos Rezende,
a Senior UX Designer
based in Ottawa, Canada
I bridge the gap between business goals and human needs, using my curiosity to discover valuable insights while creating extensively thought-out design experiences.
About me
I'm Marcos Rezende, a UX Designer skilled in Product Analytics and Design Facilitation with 13+ years of hands-on experience in digital products, with the past 7 years focused on User Experience.
I've worked in over 30 industry sectors with companies around the world, creating digital applications focused on data-driven decisions. Currently designing @ Qlik, a SaaS-based platform that enables customers to create an end-to-end analytics data pipeline.
I'm also a Toptal member, a global network of the top 3% of freelance talent with a proven track record.
I feel inspired in a cosmopolitan environment, but I also enjoy the silence of nature combined with uplifting reading. In my spare time, I engage myself in social projects that I strongly believe, and I devise fun tricks to make play with my kids even more meaningful.

Shhh. . . It's a top secret!
I've worked on a confidential Canadian nationwide project. While I cannot publish it due to signing a non-disclosure agreement, the lessons I learned and my high-level overview are well worth sharing.
UX Process
Focusing on figuring out the right problem to solve is the core of my UX process. From research to testing the prototypes, I always aim to focus on a user-centric approach through iterative sprints.
Whether it's facilitating workshops or getting hands-on, working collaboratively allows me to discover the most suitable principles for each project. I'm flexible enough to adapt the UX process when the project calls for it.
“Design is concerned with how things work, how they are controlled, and the nature of the interaction between people and technology.”
