Architect
I learned to think in space, structure, and context — balancing creativity with precision to shape how people live and move.
Hello, I'm João Pedro
Product Designer and Architect, based in London, UK
Designing with a focus on how people live, work, and interact.
more about me
Lisbon is where I started, London is where I continue to grow.
Each step has strengthened my ability to research, collaborate, and design with clarity — across scales and disciplines.
I design digital products with the same care I bring to architecture — balancing creativity, systems thinking, and human experience.
Designer
I approach challenges as opportunities for clarity. Design is my process of framing problems, exploring options, and crafting solutions that scale.
Product
I see products as tools for interaction. My focus is on making them intuitive, functional, and grounded in real human needs.
Service
I think in journeys, not just moments. Service design lets me connect touchpoints into seamless experiences that feel considered from start to finish.

From Architecture to Product Design
-
Research and understand people’s needs in context.
-
Coordinate across specialists to bring complex projects to life.
-
Prototype, test, and refine ideas before building at scale.
These same principles guide me as a product designer. Whether it’s a mobile app or a service platform, I approach each project as a designed system — from the big picture vision down to the smallest interaction.
Let's Connect
I’m currently looking for opportunities in product design and digital services.
