I joined as the founding product designer, working alongside one engineer from end to end. I led the full design scope:

The product launched officially in April 2026.

The opportunity

Brazilian emigration is large and growing.

4.9 million

Brazilians living abroad in 2023

Europe

as the second-largest destination region after North America

40%

of Brazilians are interested in living abroad, and among preferred destinations, Switzerland appears in the consideration set

1.2 million

of Brazilians are European citizens

2-6 million

of Brazilians are entitled to European nationality

Switzerland's Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons gives European citizens a real legal path to live and work there. For Brazilians with EU/EFTA passports, this is often overlooked and that gap was the opportunity.

The problem

We know for a fact that many Brazilians want to move to a better place.

Most of them choose countries such as:

United StatesPortugalCanadaSpainUnited Kingdom
Media
Stylized 3D figures in a row, largest to smallest, with national flags on their heads—United States, Portugal, Canada, Spain, and United Kingdom—suggesting ranked preference for emigration destinations.

Switzerland wasn't even on their radar as a viable option.

Not because of not wanting to, but because of not knowing that it was possible.

So, the first part of our job was educational: helping users realize the path existed before helping them walk it.

And for those who do consider Switzerland, the problem wasn't a lack of information. It was a lack of structure.

YouTube videos, blog posts, WhatsApp groups, government pages, expat forums. Pieces of the answer existed everywhere. But no single product helped users understand:

whether Switzerland was actually viable for their case

which permit path applied to them

what to do first and how to do it

how to compare cantons, jobs, taxes, and living costs

how to reduce bureaucratic risk before relocating

how to prepare to get a job or retire in Switzerland

In other words:

Brazilians with EU passports had legal pathways to Switzerland, but no centralized, Portuguese-language product that turned complexity into clear action.

Our final motivation was that we already had early proof through a YouTube audience and beta access model that users were willing to pay for structured guidance instead of piecing it together alone.

From discovery to product strategy

The project followed a Double Diamond structure.

1. Discover

I mapped the problem space through:

desk researchcompetitor reviewqualitative content analysis of online community discussionsaffinity clusteringpersonas

The goal was to understand users’ context before proposing solutions.

2. Define

The research pointed to one clear conclusion:

Euvetia shouldn't behave like a media portal.

It should behave like a Swiss Army knife for relocation.

Everything users needed for the move in one place.

That shaped two strategic decisions:

combine education + tools + community

build credibility through a clean, Swiss-inspired visual language

3. Develop

With the strategy defined, I translated it into architecture and flows:

platform architecture

core navigation

dashboard logic

content grouping

tool prioritization

community touchpoints

permit-checker entry points

wireframes and interaction flows

4. Deliver

I designed and handed off the full production-ready experience:

brand identity

responsive platform screens

user flows

component library

UX writing

Information architecture

We grouped the product around clear areas such as:

content

classifieds

tools

forum

chat

Media

The solution

The final product combined content, utilities, and community inside one paid ecosystem.

1. A personalized home

The first screen that users see shows relevant information immediately:

news

recommended content

opportunities

recent forum posts

canton-based discovery

Dashboard

The “Useful for you” area groups tools by journey stage:

Exploring:

Simulating:

Living:

Instead of forcing users to understand the full system at once, the product narrows the focus to what matters right now.

2. Canton-based exploration

A Switzerland map and canton filtering system help users compare options and narrow decisions by location. This supports a key relocation question: not just whether to move, but where.

Media

3. Community

Users can build profiles, connect with others at the same stage, join discussions, and use private chat. The platform becomes a support network, not just a content library.

Brand and interface

I built the brand and UI around principles inspired by Swiss design:

clarity over decoration

strong hierarchy

functional layouts

high contrast

minimal palette

direct language

geometric consistency

This mattered strategically. In a product about bureaucracy and relocation, visual noise feels like risk. A cleaner interface communicates stability, legitimacy, and control.

The dot represents the user within the platform, while the red gradient symbolizes the journey, its different stages, and the progressive path toward the dream of moving to Switzerland.

What we validated

100+ members onboarded during beta (lasted about a year)

10+ families successfully relocated to Switzerland during beta testing

Platform moved from beta to official launch in April 2026

YouTube became a top-of-funnel acquisition channel

What these results prove

the niche is real and underserved

the pain is strong enough to justify payment

users value a centralized, structured experience

tools and community multiply the value of content

That's the kind of signal that matters before optimizing for growth.

Next steps

The next phase is about making the experience more personal and more actionable:

profile-based onboarding that generates a tailored relocation path per user

language courses through teacher partnerships

real-time real estate listings for renting and buying

continuing to invest in content production to keep the platform current, trustworthy, and genuinely useful at every stage of the move.

Ecosystem

The platform is the goal, but the permit checker and the website are the starting points. Read the case studies for more details.

Design is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you'll find, but if you're lucky, it's a memorable surprise.
