THE BIGGEST GAP IN THE DESIGNERS' CAREERS

Discover the secret to boosting your career

Many designers today face a significant gap that limits their growth opportunities: the lack of mastery in Product Discovery. Mastering this competence is essential for the development of successful digital products that stand out in the market. By mastering this skill, you will open doors in your career, becoming a sought-after and higher-paid professional.

This is your chance to stand out as a designer, mastering skills that go beyond the basics and that will differentiate you in an increasingly competitive market. The Product Design Immersion training has been developed to enable you to apply the Product Discovery methodology efficiently, allowing you to collaborate with cross-functional teams and make valuable contributions to the success of projects.

It is ideal for those seeking a career transition or wishing to take advantage of new opportunities in the labor market. If you want to stand out as a Product Design professional, mastering the Product Discovery and Problem Framing process, this program is for you.

Mentor and Principal Teacher

Felipe Melo Guimaraes

As a holder of the prestigious Master Certified in User Experience from the Nielsen Norman Group—the most globally recognized certification in the UX field—and over 17 years of experience, I’ve led product design for global companies like Nespresso, VMware, Microsoft, GoodNotes, Pivotal, SAP, WWF, Toptal, and many others.

My career has been shaped by significant challenges and achievements, driving my unwavering passion for design. Over the past 8 years, I’ve worked internationally, living in vibrant cities like Dublin, Prague, and London. Today, I work remotely from a small town in Spain, continuing to impact global companies.

Throughout this journey, I’ve helped more than 1,035 designers transform their careers, achieving six-figure salaries and securing roles with industry giants like Meta, Uber, Booking, Siemens, IBM, Accenture, Zalando, N26, Thoughtworks, and others.

My mission with Aela is simple: to help you transform your life through design, in a faster and more effective way.

Associate Director, Product Development at VMware Tanzu Labs - London, UK

I had the opportunity to work with Felipe on some consulting projects aimed at clients, where we collaborated with them to teach modern software development practices while building ambitious and complex products together. In both cases, Felipe joined the team already during the project, quickly became a trusted member and immediately added value to the team and the product.

I especially appreciated the depth of Felipe's experience, his ability to quickly understand complex domains, and his calm and pragmatic approach. He brought a clear design direction to the team and helped steer the products in the right direction.

As a colleague, Felipe was fantastic to work with, and I would love the opportunity to do it again.

Senior Product Manager at VMware Tanzu Labs - London, United Kingdom

Felipe and I worked together on a project of great importance for a large client. Felipe joined the team after the initial discovery phase had been completed, but we were still faced with a high level of ambiguity, which made our design sprints take longer than expected. Felipe quickly adapted to the project, organized our Figma workspace, and helped to significantly simplify the design sprints.

As a product manager, I felt less pressure from stakeholders, the team's speed recovered, and the team's morale increased. Working with Felipe was an extremely positive experience, which I recommend to any product team.

As a colleague, Felipe was fantastic to work with, and I would love the opportunity to do it again.
