Hello, my name is Sarah, I'm 23 years old and I'm an iOS designer and developer at IFCE. I love making illustrations to externalize what I feel and I managed to bring more life to them through the programs I develop.

Scholarships

Sarah has been awarded a WWDC scholarship in 2023. Here is the submission that got her there.

In 2023, applicants were tasked with creating a Swift Playgrounds app project on the topic of your choice to showcase their passion for coding. Here’s how Sarah describes her winning submission.

Beautiful Scars is an interactive narrative game that, through the Mandacaru, a cactus that is a symbol of northeastern Brazil, talks about how affectivity interferes in people's lives. With the aim of showing how love, especially self-love, can change life, the game uses Mandacaru (affectionately named Manda) as an analogy to illustrate the way in which we deal with feelings.
