Hello, I'm Ricardo Silva
Designer + Creative AI Coder
Bike Addict
With years of experience as a designer, I've collaborated with a wide range of companies and brands, turning concepts into impactful design projects. Specializing in Product, Graphic, and Digital Design, I use AI tools to develop web projects, taking each from concept to implementation with consistency and quality.
Bio
I completed my Bachelor's degree (Bacharelato, 1st cycle, pre-Bologna) in Product Design in 2003, followed by a Bachelor's degree (Licenciatura, 2nd cycle, pre-Bologna) in Product Design in 2005, both from the School of Technology and Management, Polytechnic University of Viana do Castelo. That same year, I began my professional career as a product designer at Simplidesign, where I created and developed several projects, including the Braga Pedestrian Signpost, the Kiddo product, laboratory equipment for Multiwave Photonics, and a sales kiosk for Lacor.
In 2010, I completed my Master's degree in Design at the same institution, School of Technology and Management, Polytechnic University of Viana do Castelo.
Since 2005, I have collaborated with a wide range of companies and brands, turning concepts into impactful projects across multiple areas.
I am currently a Senior Product Designer (Design UI/UX) at Marques, while continuing to expand my design work through Ricardo Silva Design, developing projects across a diverse range of areas.
Please feel free to get in touch anytime for work inquiries. I am accepting new design projects.
Approach, Methodology and Work Process
The deconstruction of the problem and the challenge of the drawing program are part of a methodology that is appropriate and specific to each project. Throughout the process, critical sense and plurality is decisive not only for the dismantling of the existing models, but also to try and test new solutions.
Design — Activity Areas
I develop projects such as visual identities, editorial design, signage systems, products, equipments as well as web design projects.
As a consequence of my multidisciplinary, I celebrate partnerships with other project areas such as engineering, photography, video, programming or architecture.
