Product Designer
& Illustrator

Nearly 10 years in design, 6 of them in digital products. I work on UX/UI for SaaS products, from discovery to delivery, with AI built into the process, taking work from Figma prototype to production code. At Clickmax (Bilhon group), I lead the design system audit and the standardization of the platform.

About

Elton Carvalho holding an iPad showing one of his illustrations

I work where interface, product and illustration meet. I start with the problem, not the screen, and see the work through to release with the team.

Nearly ten years in design, six of them in product. Before Clickmax, I worked with a branding studio, a comics platform, a design school and a product studio. I use cognitive biases to understand how people make decisions, and AI to speed up the work, from prototype to code.

  • Product and systems

    SaaS redesigns, onboarding, design systems and engineering handoff.

  • Illustration and art direction

    From a 110-card deck to an empty-state icon, in one visual language.

  • Cognitive biases and AI

    Real user behavior shaping the interface, and AI across the workflow, end to end.
