Breno Araujo — product designer and design engineer in Vancouver

I'm a product designer based in Vancouver, designing since tableless layouts were vibe coding.

For nearly two decades, I've designed products end-to-end, built the design systems underneath them, and now prototype in code. Engineers get answers instead of specs.

My default move is to listen first, gather as much context and data as I can, then prototype quickly (Figma, code, or AI) to reduce ambiguity and help teams decide with less guesswork and more clarity.
