Meet Indaia Militão da Silva, a Brazilian designer with more than 20 years of experience in the automotive, textile, aeronautic segments. She currently works as a design manager at Nubank, and she graduated in Industrial Design from FAAP and Publicity and Advertising.

She already had the opportunity to work in more than 15 countries in the world, attending to customers, understanding their needs and business goals by translating them into products and services.

She entered the design field intending to understand the world of electronic devices such as smartphones, but destiny directed her to a "wider world" (aeronautics and automobile industry). To enhance the adventure, she sought to meet other women who are references in the areas, so much so that she believes this is one of the best ways to achieve our goals in record time.

In this episode, Indaia shares more than twenty years of experience going through several countries and big companies where she had the opportunity to learn numerous ways of solving problems. According to Indaia, this was only possible because she trusts in herself, listens to other people's opinions and feedback, and respect them.

He is passionate about Interaction Design and the interplay of man and technology, particularly fascinated by complex systems and wicked problems: “I want to create things that are understood - whether emotional or rational. If I succeed, I can have a positive and lasting impact on people's lives.”

Maria is a Service and Experience Designer and, quoting Mr Wolf from Pulp Fiction, she solves problems. Maria is a visual thinker - she thinks visually and designs thoughtfully. Being a blend of a typical nerd and a creative, she’s challenging stereotypes and making her own path. 

Maria is a medium between research and visuals with a particular interest in projects that make real impact. Accordingly, she’s already had a chance to work on cases connected with social inequality, circular economy, feminism, activism and racism.
