Application for Experience Operations Lead · VAWAA

Hi,
Geetika.

Operations. Experience Design. Remote since day one.

📍 Belo Horizonte · 1–2h ahead of New York · US visa holder
Who I am

Operations person.
Experience obsessive.
Delivered across 8 countries.

Seven years in customer operations and service design — building systems that make complex, high-stakes experiences feel human. I've worked remotely across Brazil, Italy, and Los Angeles. 1–2h ahead of New York, US visa, never been the problem.

The moment that changed everything

A tent.
Croatian woods.
Best office I ever had.

In 2022, I woke up in a tent in the Croatian woods — sleeping bag, laptop on my knees, campsite in every direction — managing the operations of a digital company back in Belo Horizonte. Scheduling payments, redesigning workflows, handling customers.

"Why am I so happy right now?"

Not vacation-happy. The kind of happy that comes from being exactly where you're supposed to be, doing exactly the work that makes sense to you.

By the numbers

What I bring.

40→3

Minutes. Automated an Italian family business's internal system from scratch. 93% faster.

Shirts from my own brand sold across every continent except Antarctica.

1–2h

Ahead of New York. Not behind. I've delivered on US hours from Brazil, Italy, and a tent in Croatia.

Making things

I don't just
design systems.
I use my hands too.

I founded a clothing brand with my face on it. 300+ shirts sold across every continent except Antarctica. Designed everything, ran production, managed the full experience end to end.

I also make things by hand — card holders, upcycled lighters, one-off objects. Every piece intentional.

Why VAWAA
VAWAA isn't a company I want to work at.
It's a mission I want to work inside.

The line that stopped me in your job description:
"Automate your own job without losing the human soul."

That's not a task. That's a philosophy.
And it's exactly how I've been thinking about operations for years.
Let's talk

I want this.
Let's find out
if you do too.
