Pedro Kümmel — Product Manager

Hello, I'm a UX & Product Designer from Brazil with 15+ years of experience and currently working at Microsoft. Passionate about user experience, technology, and design, I specialize in delivering end-to-end solutions, that take businesses from the early stages of research and discovery all the way through to high-fidelity design, prototyping and user validation. With a deep understanding of user-centered design principles and a keen eye for detail, I work tirelessly to create products that are not only visually stunning but also intuitive and effective. Whether it's developing new products, new features or improving existing ones, I am dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences that delight users and drive business results. I started working with UI and UX in 2005 at Object Edge Brazil, working mainly for Terra Networks, one of the biggest internet providers in Brasil. Then, in 2011, I moved on to interface design for mobile apps at Queen Mob, where I was the Head of UX/UI Design, working with clients such as Microsoft, LG, Melissa, Netco Sports France, Boca Juniors, Corinthians, and others. I also took on various freelance projects in web, graphic, and motion design during this time. After, I led and managed the UX & Product Design team at Nelogica, brazillian fintech and leading software company on the development of desktop, web and mobile solutions for the brazillian financial and stock market. The company received a market valuation of 500 million dollars in 2020. Currently, I've joined Microsoft as a UX & Product Designer working for the M365 / Office Design Team.
