A little bit about myself
Eneas Arrais
I have the soul of an Inventor. The figure of a “scientist” uncovering knowledge to create wondrous inventions has captivated me since my childhood. My interests pushed me to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Digital Systems and Media. There, I discovered UX Design, where I found my passion for creating user-centred solutions. The idea of immersing myself in a challenge and empathizing with people to solve their problems fulfilled both my creative and analytical sides.
I’m an adventurer at heart, always looking for new experiences, by exploring locations, learning cooking recipes or in the coziness of an indie game or movie.

Exchange program in the USA
In September 2015 I had the opportunity to study Computational Media at the University of California Santa Cruz - UCSC. I still can’t get over their cute banana slug mascot, which made a cameo in the movie Pulp Fiction.
During the summer of 2016, I had my first internship working at The Toy Museum of New York. I worked as a Graphic & Web Designer, creating their website, marketing and communication material.

I successfully graduated in 2018. I held many research assistant positions within the university and was awarded a Summa Cum Laude(Highest distinction) having a 9.5/10.0 GPA.

Putting my knowledge to test
I worked as a UX & Front-End Designer at Nestec. During this time, I worked on two governmental products helping with streetlight mapping and engineering inspections.
Afterwards, I joined Morphus one of the biggest cybersecurity companies in Brazil, recently acquired by Accenture. I worked there for over two years as a UX/UI Designer. During this time I worked on 4 cybersecurity applications and improved my product and service design abilities, conducting multiple stakeholder workshops, interviews and usability tests.
Moving to Canada!
In September 2021 I moved to Canada to start my Masters of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University - SFU. I researched the effects of augmented reality screen filters, which led to multiple awards and a successful defence at the end of 2023, following graduation in the summer of 2024.
