Tainá Salomão
UX Designer with over 4 years of experience, focused on innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence and passionate about creating digital experiences that truly make a difference. My background in Social Communication, combined with an MBA in Communication and Marketing in Digital Media, gives me a strategic and user-centered perspective.
My career began in digital marketing, and later I transitioned to UX, starting at Burger King. Along this journey, I won MaratOn, Accenture’s hackathon on diversity and inclusion, served as a judge at the Brasil Design Awards, and spoke at events such as Rio2C and Web Summit Rio. I also founded the study group Race and Technology, where we promote discussions about the role of technology in society and its impact on the Black population in Brazil.
