‘User-centric approach to problem solving leads to differentiation and a competitive advantage.’
Why a UCD process? It helps a lot, because the designer needs structure and guidance to understand the problem and create the best solution for the user.

QA
I’m João Silva Dias — a seasoned UI/UX Designer with +10 years of experience.
I’m a all-round creative designer now with a full emphasis on all things digital.
I’m a versatile designer with an open mind which allows me to successfully engage in a wide range of fields. I dabble in several technologies and I’m used to dealing with ideas, concepts and layouts ranging from the initial requirements capture all the way through final implementation.
I aim to design solutions as simple, intuitive and accessible to the end user.
Experience
So basically, I spent a year at Gene Commerce (Remote), and before that I rocked it for five years at Rank Interactive (London). I used to be a freelancer for six years in Lisbon, working with digital agencies and some cool clients. And way back when, I was at Brand Lovers for nine years, which was a top agency that’s now based in Maputo.
