Bio
Laura is part of the fourth generation of engineers in her
family but she decided to do it in a different way. Interested
in entrepreneurship, service design and human behavior,
she uses her knowledge to design simple, shared
management strategies and processes, seeking to unlock
potential, to help people answer their questions and to
make things happen for them.
With a degree in Production Engineering from UFRGS, she
has worked in companies of different sizes (including
startups and consulting firms) in automotive, service,
financial, education and technology market. She was a
partner at Altos Eventos where she developed experience
designing projects for clients such as Natura, Nubank and
ThoughtWorks.
She’s done a Neuroscience and Behavior post-graduation
and has studied Creative Writing. She loves to take short
courses, such as Semiotics or Biomimetics, and she invents
possible occupations for herself: project orchestrator, bond
builder, explorer of new methodologies, concept developer
or idea disseminator. She is a co-founder of the social
project Amor no Cabide (clothing donation), a partner at
UXConf BR (the biggest brazilian UX conference) and a
mentor at Spotlight Network (women protagonism).
I'm passionate about
Laura is Flora and Martim's aunt and Barbara's godmother.
She loves to read (especially Portuguese authors) and has
learned that writing is a great way to express herself, having
already published two poems in a brazilian anthology. She
also knows that she feels very good when she's into the
nature and she likes to try different sports and outdoor
adventures like mountain biking and trekking - she's
climbed two volcanoes! She welcomes any trip, any sea or
waterfall bath and any conversation about any new idea
that may have arised. She loves to cook and eat great food -
if it's all among friends, even better.
An idea worth spreading
Semiotics as a lifestyle: the practice of perception and observation, and only then attributing meaning and taking action.
