Hello, I’m Eduardo Vanzeler, a design researcher and product designer based in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Equipment Design, a Master in Product Design, and I’m pursuing a PhD in Design at the University of Aveiro. My practice spans academic research, collaborations with industry partners, and hands‑on prototyping across furniture, woodwork, and interaction design. I’m driven by how people relate to objects and spaces, and I aim to fuse craft, technology, and user insight through co‑creation and reflective practice. Currently I’m a doctoral researcher while contributing to teaching at IPLeiria/ESAD.CR. I enjoy exploring new materials and processes, with a focus on sustainability, user‑centered design, and the value chains that connect design to real-world impact. I believe in design as a social practice that can enrich communities and everyday life.…Hello, I’m Eduardo Vanzeler, a design researcher and product designer based in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal.
