My name is João Pinheiro, I’m a product design consultant and instructor based in Lisbon with more than 10 years of experience in solving complex product problems for world-famous companies – TAP Air Portugal, Galp and Novo Banco.
For the majority of products, I use the design thinking framework where I conduct UX research, create information architectures, wireframes, interactive prototypes and conduct usability testing with users. I’m used to working with agile methodologies where I need to work very closely with product owners, engineers and other designers. I’m also used to coordinating junior product designers.
As for the UI design, I also love to create beautiful layouts on Figma to make users feel more engaged with the product.
I’m a very communicative person that loves working with teams and helping them whenever they need me. These were the main reasons that made me start teaching product design in design institutes in Lisbon and in the USA (remotely). I also create content for LinkedIn and Instagram to help other product designers and companies improve their skills in this field.
Besides working on design projects and teaching, I’m always learning new skills by attending training courses and conferences so I can provide the best solutions.
