Driving Growth Through Experimentation

Category:

APP and Web Design

Client:

Santander Brasil

Duration:

Few months - on going

In this position, I design for measurable impact, combining data, behavioral insights, and rapid experimentation to improve performance across digital journeys

How I Think

I approach growth design as a continuous system:

  • Data > insight > hypothesis > test > learn > share > iterate product

  • Small changes can drive significant business impact

  • Clarity and trust are key drivers of conversion

Growth Design Cases

Case 1: Reducing friction in offer simulation (AI-powered rapid prototyping)

+2% increase in progression rate

−2s reduction in time spent on screen

Users were spending too long on the “change offer” screen, with a high drop-off rate. At the same time, I was constrained to front-end changes only, with no backend modifications allowed. Analyzing user behavior, it became clear that the interface exposed too many inputs at once, increasing cognitive load and making decision-making harder.

What I changed:

  • Introduced a progressive disclosure approach, revealing fields gradually

  • Pre-filled inputs based on common scenarios

  • Provided suggested optionsP to reduce effort and speed up decisions

  • Added contextual support for non-standard interactions

This transformed a dense, static form into a more guided and manageable experience.

To accelerate exploration, I used (AI) Figma Make to prototype interaction details and simulate the gradual flow, which helped align expectations with developers and speed up implementation.



Case 2: Optimizing the Offers Experience

+159% increase in clicks on proposals
+R$538K in additional revenue

Hotjar data showed users were frequently clicking on “Change offer”, indicating distraction from the main task. With ~80% of traffic coming from mobile, the carousel made comparison difficult.

What I changed:

  • Replaced carousel with a scannable list layout

  • Highlighted the most relevant offer

  • Improved hierarchy to reduce cognitive load



Case 3: Guiding Users to Self-Service Channels

+13% increase in chatbot usage vs phone calls

We tested reducing the visibility of the call center number to encourage digital channels.

What I changed:

  • Deprioritized phone visibility without removing it

  • Prioritized chatbot as the primary option

  • Redesigned contact section for better guidance


How I Accelerate Experimentation

  • Rapid prototyping with Figma Make to validate ideas faster

  • Alignment with the engineering team

  • Use of behavioral principles (e.g. anchoring, loss aversion) to design hypotheses

  • Close collaboration with data and CRO teams to measure real impact
