Overview

CoGrader, an AI-powered grading platform for teachers, faced low feature discoverability, inconsistent interactions, and limited user understanding of its most valuable tools. In late 2024, I was brought in to redesign the platform’s core flows and make key features like AI insights, grammar corrections, plagiarism detection, analytics, and AI-generated rubrics easier to find and use.

Hi there,
I'm Ingrid

UX Designer based in Brazil

Experience.

I am currently working in the EdTech space, helping to make education more accessible in Brazil for low-income communities and people who did not finish their studies “on time”. While also helping teachers to save time by grading assignments faster. I am also volunteering for Sow Saúde Integral to provide emotional well-being to vulnerable families in Brazil.

With over 7 years of experience in the UX Design field, I have been involved in all design stages from concept to delivery, managing communication among functional teams such as development, product management, QA, national and international stakeholders, and influencing decision-making through user experience.

I have worked with first-party software, B2G, B2C, and SaaS, creating and improving digital solutions across various industries and categories, including education, e-commerce, productivity, and management.

Contributions.

I love writing and sharing content about design on my Medium page and on UX Collective 🇧🇷 since 2019.

I became a local lead at IxDA Natal in 2020 and organised online events for the local community.

In 2021, I initiated the SiDi Design publication and managed the blog for over 2 years, encouraging designers to write and publish about design.

I participated as a speaker at TDC Connections in 2023 to discuss accessibility documentation.

In 2025, I was invited to record a talk for PUCPR’s UX Drops course, where I spoke about failures and errors in the UX design field.

Me, beyond Design .

New experiences ✸ Arts & Crafts ✸ Cuisine ✸ Reading ✸ Beach ✸ Plants ✸ Travel ✸ Gym

I’m always chasing new experiences, from learning something new to discovering places and flavours. I love getting my hands busy with crafts, caring for my plants, finding great restaurants, swimming in the sea, and reading. Staying active matters to me too, so I'll be at the gym most days. And when I can’t travel, I explore the world's beauty and uniqueness through travel channels.
