My name is Murilo Lopes
I am a UX/UI Designer with a solid background in Front-End Development, dedicated to crafting intuitive digital products, scalable design systems, and impactful user experiences. My journey bridges product strategy, user research (UX Research), and high-fidelity prototyping in Figma with clean, modern code implementation.
I believe true design is born from continuous collaboration and genuine exchange of ideas every day. Working with multidisciplinary teams and engineering, I actively participate from flow definition and information architecture in FigJam to the technical delivery of robust Design Systems and performant code.
Throughout my journey, I have led the design of digital ecosystems for Cybersecurity, Web3, Fintechs, Mobility, and E-Commerce. Being present at corporate industry events and understanding real enterprise customer pain points allows me to craft solutions that balance refined aesthetics, accessibility, and business metrics.
Whether attending tech conferences like the SecOps Summit or sharing mate with the team, I value the energy of human connections, constant curiosity, and the relentless drive to learn that power memorable products.

The Creative Side
Music moves everything I do. It keeps me focused, inspired, and connected to creativity. I can’t really design or think without it. Art has always been part of my life too. Since I was a kid, I’ve been drawing every day, it’s simply something I never stopped doing.
When I was little, I used to spend hours watching Cartoon Network and the classic Hanna-Barbera shows. Those colorful worlds and funny characters sparked something in me. Over time, that love for drawing and storytelling grew into design, a way of building worlds, emotions, and experiences for real people.
What Inspires Me
I find inspiration in cities full of movement, history, and culture. I love museums, architecture, and the feeling of walking through places that hold stories. At the same time, I need calm moments to recharge. Walking through peaceful places, especially in my hometown Porto Alegre, helps me reconnect with myself. It’s where most of my ideas start taking shape.
My Approach to Work
For me, design is not just about how things look, but how they make people feel and how they work. My background in UX/UI and front-end helps me move between creativity and execution, from understanding problems and designing flows to building detailed prototypes and systems that scale.
I really value teamwork. I like being in environments where people share knowledge, learn together, and bring different perspectives to the table. When there’s good energy and collaboration, great design happens naturally.
Who I Am Beyond Work
I’m calm, quiet, and observant by nature. I enjoy listening more than talking, and I appreciate being around people with good energy. Outside of design, you’ll probably find me with my headphones on, exploring new cafés, or revisiting familiar places that make me feel at peace, especially Porto Alegre, the city that continues to inspire me the most.
Looking Ahead
I want to keep exploring the connection between design, technology, and human behavior. My goal is to create digital products that not only solve problems but also make people feel something genuine.
For me, design has always been about connection, between people, ideas, and the small details that turn simple moments into meaningful experiences.
